How much did they want for it?!!
on the suckage
Yep! I have one adn passed on one last summer that still had the tobacco in it
Lugz, they actually have 5X9 plywood for Ping pong tables, - I managed to find a lumber yard 20 miles away that stocked and sold them. (I needed it for a new floor in my Eagle Tent Trailer as I did not want a seam...)
Once we got the guy's hand out from underneath, he kinda shook it off. I know the people running the sale were a bit nervous, but the guy kept saying he was OK. And remember, not all the weight was on him, just the edge and only one point. So, I don't know. Only that I wouldn't want it to be me underneath it.
Oh, trust me, I know. MDO, too. The MDO in that size is a little harder to find. I have a 5' x 9' sheet of MDO under the 5' x 9' sheet of galvanized steel. Long story short, I had one of MDO outside, permanently, on five cinderblock pillars, for years, but it eventually fell apart despite it being weatherproof and thoroughly coated with polyurethane by me. After seeing and playing on tables in public parks in California and Europe made of other material (stone, steel), that's what I wanted. But they're like $3,000+. I weighed the pros & cons and priced everything from DIY concrete to granite countertop leftovers. I ended up going with the galvanized steel over the MDO and couldn't be happier. The "net" is steel mesh, too, cut out of a roll of gutter guard. Follow my link for more.
I'm assuming it was stored on the long edge and pivoted to the floor like a door hinge. We'll have to ask @Jacobs976 to do the calculations for us to find the force it hit the floor with. Sounds like the fall was only resisted by the perp/victim's failed attempt to keep it upright. Calling Jacobs976!
Don't know if this is an attempt at hazing (for bringing math into the SO thread) or an actual request but data is inconclusive due to unknown variables (angle of free fall assuming they tried to bail out after moving it, distance traveled between free fall and pinning/stopping, environment like what else it hit such as tables and whatnot, whether it went to the floor or just down to a table or something, contact points including environmental potentially decreasing force of impact, plus for the guy angle of impact including surface area and what bones were put under stress to show if he should've went to the doc for some x-rays).
OR can speak for himself, Jacobs, but if it helps to hear it from someone else, I can assure you it was good-natured genuine and joshing at the same time. I am sure he appreciates your expertise and was only light-heartedly echoing the math in the same way I did over there, for its rarity and its ability to try the patience of GJers who barely like to post English let alone equations with their photos!
I'd just really like to know.

Discussion has moved to a new thread so we don't have too much math here.It's a genuine request! I saw your work with the spanner on the SO thread this morning. I was actually shocked that Beemer said the guy shook it off and am having a hard time imagining anyone short of Lou Ferrigno in his prime slowing that slab down enough to not break bones. Maybe Beemer can address some of the variables enough to get a ballpark impact figure. This is a safety issue and reminder for all of us Garage Sailers. We root around in unfamiliar--and ofttimes dark and dank--garages and sheds, scrabbling for treasures and we forget or ignore the potential hazards that lurk in them.
Edit: It's not necessary to show your work if you think the herd will blanch at viewing the math--and I don't have the background to give partial credit for your work.
) If you'd like to explore further, @LesserSon has a thread down on the VB for a similar cabinet.
So that's the second Utica display cab you've found. Linked here. Too funny.I have 50 of those in my shop, I also have them made into several carts on wheels.Here is my small score for the weekend. These popped up as tool drawers on FreeCycle as I posted something. Drove 5 mile north, chatted with a neighbor and her dogs, grabbed the goodies, chatted with the donor, and away I went. They were originally hanging underneath tech workbenches, wood top and metal legs, with some horrid brackets holding them up. Fortunately those were already removed, so they fit under the cover of the truck bed without further intervention.
I may rearrange then into two big lower, and three small upper drawers, into a single stack, on wheels, for a small footprint, and flexibility. Lyons brand, so decent quality. Some rust on at the top surfaces, no surprise here on the coast.
With the firm caveat that it's a terrific, uncommon find regardless of what you paid, and I don't like to talk about pricing, my own or anyone else's, that's an insane price. I've only ever seen two of these at my flea markets, granted, both a lot older, but still, they were both considerably north of that. (Maybe I need to start driving north on the GSP!
EDIT: This is freaking HILARIOUS! It's not LS's thread - it's YOUR thread, Marty, from 2016! LS bumped it when he found one a few years later.
Yeah, that has “you ****” all over it. I think that’s the original finish - very light (lighter than natural oak would be at that age).
You definitely **** for that. Gonna be a blast filling that one. Outstanding.
if it has the cruciform on the bottom of the bit, that’s a GP. Body looks like it from here.
Beemer is correct. Merit was Sears house brand before they began marketing Craftsman in 1927. For a while both brands were marketed simultaneously before being phased out to only Craftsman ( along side the entry level Dunlap)..
