Not ME! NEVER!

(Except for the vise, and the...)

Rick - was just thinking the other day how you haven't posted in a bit. Then you drop a YOU **** bomb on us!

Lugz great finds!

 

[MercLSU]

Sweet score on that spinner!

Freebie Friday around here. Made two stops at lunch today, one for a Delta Rockwell DP220 press and another for a truckload of crusty Craftsman woodworking tools and a bunch of electric motors. The wife will be pleased!

Holy Cow! All that stuff in just one day and then you tell us it was free?

That is a You **** haul for sure. The drill press looks pretty intact.

Well done and sneak it around back when the wife is not looking.

Free!! Great score. I'd love to see those cleaned up and running. Keep us posted!

 

[Outlawmws]

Even a Jointer and planer! Somebody is sucking for !

Those pictures are actually on the side of the house where wifey rarely goes, so I'm hoping I have at least a week or two before I get "the look".

 

[EOC_Jason]

Nice find Merc! Nothing like that ever comes up for free around here... Heck, they would want a premium for that nice vintage "patina"...

 

[AntiqueVises]

I'm really happy with my weekly pawn shop finds today.

Only thing I saw was a cool little 6" Ridgid USA pipe wrench but decided to dig through the bins a little farther.

Found a Petersen MFG vise grip, a 15" JH Williams crescent wrench, a VLHECK wrench that i collect, and a wizard 1-1/16 socket which is a size I needed anyway!

All for $5.30

DANG! Why did this poll close so fast? Why not more "Advertising" in the GS thread? I missed it! (But I would have voted for Lugz anyway... Unless I saw the post about voting by avatar first, then maybe...

Congrats Lugz! Have fun with it!

Swing, you were in the running and haven't even been here a whole year!

 

[3baygarage]

Did you really miss the poll? It ran for 7 days. Sorry there wasn't much talk about it here.

I absolutely did! My new work allows NO internet access that is not work related (I'm even blocked from my personal Email...) so for 10 hrs a day or more nothing, and I've been working over a lot as well, and the SS thing also keeps me busy soaking up cycles...

 

[3baygarage]

We were literally one vote shy of last year too! 68 vs. 69

It's the avatar.... I would let her hit me with that...

I never knew anything about the poll either. I just learned about it today when Outlaw did. Not that it makes any difference to me.

Wow Merc, wow!

I missed out on voting also, but I shall blame my work schedule it. It has been insanely busy and working 8 out of 9 days lately put a hamper on my picking and posting! But, in my second year here, to be in that top ten list means a lot to me! I have learned so much from all you guys. This thread is what got me into the hunt, and taught me so much about what to look for. I am very thankful for finding this place, and all of you!

You've had some really awesome finds... I think probably the most consistent in finding something good each week!

Thanks! I sure love going out and looking. If I lived in a big tow Id prob spend every dime I make n this stuff. And have to build a storage facility!!

 

[RagTopTA]

[3baygarage]

Nice finds this week guys! Some great prices/free!

Sorry that some guys missed the poll. I apologize for using the normal size font, should have made it stand out. I guess I was thinking you guys would see the poll thread.

Rag, btw I forgot to tell you that you won the poll!

J/K

It would have been real weird if you won and didn't know you were in the running!

 

[Bobcat753]

Here's one last find for me for the year. What I believe is a Carolina horizontal band saw. Got it for free from work. Cleaned it up quite a bit already but still needs more clean up. It has been sitting in deep storage for the past decade.
Everything works and it cuts straight so I am happy. Also it seemed small when it was at work but when I brought it home and put it in my garage it was a lot bigger than I realized

 

[Outlawmws]

Those Carolinas are beasts. yasuck BC! Hydraulic resist for the gravity feed I assume? Does it have a coolant sump & pump?

 

[BlueBomber]

DItto on the You ****, BC. Well done!

 

[Bobcat753]

Thanks Guys! This one does have the hydraulic resist for down feed. No coolant system though.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Lugz great finds!

Thanks. I cleaned that Hol-Set Mfg Corp set up if you're interested in seeing it. Upstate New Yawk company! Link here.

 

[jakemac]

Bobcat - Nice job cleaning out your employer's junk.
Definitely deserves a hearty YS.

Sales around here are kinda dead, must be the impending snow storm.
A pair of Utica side cutters, some wood ore bits ( picked up a 1/2" last week) a chewed up SO nut driver, SK 1/4" dr handle, needle nose pliers " made in west Germany inside handle".

 

[cbacres]

Another stop on this slow week.
Two boxes of Senco galv finish nails for my nailer $10
Couple SO tools, Mac crows foot prybar, vise grips that the guy said was worth $12 by itself,Mac cotter pin puller, unnamed pry bar and this must be west Germany tool day. Pair of cutters same as the needle nose at another stop.


Nice stout pair.

Lol that is cool!

But this is where my mind first went when I read that! The piece of resistance!



Drivesitfar: I have no idea why I always find stuff during the time of year when spending money is most inconvenient....
