My buddy Tom and I decided to do the US Highway 80 giant yard sale in our area. Starting in the Bossier Shreveport Louisiana area we headed West towards Waskom and Marshall Texas. Although a lot of sales were slow "drive bys" full of clothes and stuff we found a few good deals. The first...

Back on March 3rd I hit up an Air Force surplus sale, I'm retired AF and have base privileges. An active duty buddy let me know about the sale. He let me know there were Stanley Vidmar cabinets there cheap. So I got up early and headed that way with my little 5 x 10 trailer in town. Had to wait...

3Baygarage, I had no idea what it was. It has no markings whatsoever. It was in the P&G valve gapper box but the way everything was mixed together in the garage I didn't think it belonged there. Then another member asked some questions about the P&G paperwork and I just pulled the P&G sales...

A quick post, picked up this Craftsman "mailbox" 1/4 HP grinder with Crown Logo stand a few days ago. I mostly wanted the stand, I'll put one of my nicer block grinders on it. Gotta go, need to unload from my big haul from a closed engine machine shop!
