Not exactly a garage sale, but a friend/relative works for a metallurgical think tank type business and he's been busy cleaning out some of their storage units. I posted a week or two about some steel he brought me, and he's brought me about 500# of 12" x 12" steel plate hunks, two milk crates of steel bar pieces, even some heavy copper plate pieces, which have already made great heat sinks for welding sheet metal.
Well today, he called and said they had priced all of the stuff in the storage units, so I met him over there.
Here is what I came home with:
Miller Filtair 130 welding fume extractor/filter. In excellent condition, no hose or hood, but I got it for only $200
Portable, folding welding table ($20):
Two 4' x 7' welding screens, with steel tube frames - one on wheels ($10 each):
Parallel plate screw lift - about 12" square ($20):
A box of pieces of UniStrut, lengths vary from 24" to 30" with some brackets and spring nuts included ($10):
And a couple of 1" thick 8" x 6" copper plates.
I may sell the fume extractor, or I may rig up a hanging hose/small hood setup to use on my main welding table.
I plan to modify the welding screens by cutting up the frames and making a four-section folding screen frame that the screens will attach to.
but I had a chance to duck out in the rain on Saturday for a small farm house garage sale
