A few auction items I grabbed.

Today was pick up day for a online auction, so I made a quick video of the stuff I got. (Notice I did not say win, the only winner at a auction is the auction company.)

What?? You're not gonna tell us what the 6x12 tube is for??
And you're not gonna show us how you took that tube off the back of the truck?
I can't wait to see what this new project is going to be - as usual, post pictures, 'cuz this is going to be very interesting.

I will do a video of the unloading and post it tomorrow night on my channel if I remember I will toss a link up here as well.

The project for the tube will be awhile, I need to find a lot more stuff to build it unless someone has some 1.5" or 2" plate they would like to donate, oh I also need a 2 or 3hp electric motor single or 3ph.

I have had the project in mind for awhile but needed to source the tube to make it a go I paid about $.08 a pound for all the steel, I need a deal like that on the heavy plate as well.

Ok, what we all really want to know is how you keep that bench so clean. Never seen a bench that clean except new in the store !

It's easy all the **** is on the other benches, table saw, band saw, mill table etc....

That and I have a rule that after doing any welding, grinding cutting, anything with hot metal or sparks I can't leave the shop for 30 minutes, so I take that time to put everything that I am done with away, sweep the floor, and just do general pick up. Been doing that for quite a few years and it works well.

Good rule. If I ever get my bench clean I will try and follow that.

OKay the tube is off the truck and I shot video of it, down loading to the computer now, I will edit it and start the upload while I'm having lunch here in a few minutes should be ready for viewing in a few hours, when it is I will post it here.
