@Davefr that looks amazing! What color did you use?

@bmwrd0 *****! I geek out when I see Starrett boxes at sales.

Looks good!

Half off day at an estate sale. A clean crown top die set, Wilton power arm, B&S micrometer and some drafting supplies. The drafting supplies goes good with the Hamilton table. $80 for the haul.

@Arne73 ***** times two!

Congratulations @Hoorn on the grinder. I know it's been a search for one. Good luck on the pedestal.

@6 & 7/8 *****!

I love free stuff from work! It's like your getting paid to take it home.

@Davefr ***** is an understatement!

I can relate with the cutoff wheels. I do have them ranked well below carbide burs on my list of despised tools. An Ellis bandsaw was a must for my shop. Thankfully I was able to find a used one at a good price. I'll upgrade to a larger one someday but for now it does fine.

I'm glad it went to a good home. That's even better that it was from the original owner with all the paper work. Enjoy it and get some pictures posted of it. Oh and "you ****" for the deal!

Someone closer than me needs to grab this press. Only asking $50 with the variable speed accessory. https://easternshore.craigslist.org/tls/d/bozman-drill-press/7639886222.html

@11b30b4 The stand is off a newer Rockwell grinder. Based off the switch that was on it I'd say it was a three phase grinder. The mounting pattern for the grinder is the same as well as for the repo light switch. All it's missing is the vertical casting lines. The guy I bought mine from had a...

To say you **** really isn't strong enough in this case!

Nothing can widthstand constant heat or pressure. That's a saying an old timer at work would say when we ran into something that wouldn't come loose. It's pretty accurate. I don't like cheater bars. I prefer to call them leverage enhancement tools. I don't set out to use them but sometimes you...
