Very nice finds! I concur, sometimes the collecting is more fun! Before being promoted, I spent 35 years in QC / Metrology. I still can’t switch it off. My home tools now out weigh my shop tools… Looking forward till till the day they’re all “home” tools…😉

I used a lot of different products to go from this spray bombed SK back to the original paint. One layer at a time…. Time is your best friend. Steve

A couple from my collection…😉 Steve

Nice pickup! I have one minus the top and cover. A friends father turned it into his road box on his work truck. Someday I hope to get it all together…. Steve

Just the cars today…. Finally got to spend time on something besides all the yard work. That’s been the last month…. Hence, finally winning! 😉

Nice relaxing day at the shop. Detailed my Silverado, my wife's Highlander & my Daily….Some days I feel like I’m winning… Today is one of em. Lawns done, bushes & tree line trimmed, mulch is down….Hot tubs hot and all the deck **** is out. G’night world! Steve

I’ll second that… nice work saving that box! Steve

That’s Mrs. Insp380’s dog grooming table! 😃 I use the **** out of that thing. The rubber surface is nice because it doesn’t scratch. The down side is…. I better have my chit off it when she comes down to groom the Doodle….😳 Steve

99% of the time it’s covered… lol. It’s not a AA but it works for me! Steve

Saw this one fairly local to me, I may have to go save it this weekend…😲

Well, here’s the follow up from this weeks work dive. I figured the height gage purge was next & I was correct. Same deal, get them out of the shop ASAP. All 12”, SPI Digital, Etalon Dial & Fowler Dial. All three needed a bot of work to bring back into service. The SPI’s took a battery and then...
