Indeed……seems like everyone is making money……except the seller. I tapped out a few years ago on auctions with those fees.

there where no taxes on the last 2 i bought from on bidspotter. our local auctioneer does estate sales and stuff with similar buyers premium and doesnt charge sales tax. just the one fee.
OP
I wonder if that's why the buyer's premium is 18%, sales tax is wrapped in and hidden.
OP
Leveling legs and casters mounted this morning. I'm not sure how well these leveling legs are going to work.

You must have used the force to get it right side up. Flip the table you will….
OP
First actual welding project for the table, the slide out torch table.
Just an idea of how it'll look when partially pulled out.

OP
Welded to the slides underneath is a piece of angle on each side. Basically set up like this to hold down on the slide out. These are going to be a second set welded on.
When pushed all the way in, it'll be completely under the table. I'll probably put some type of handle on it to grab.

All that money on a new truck and they don't include the receiver adapter, or was that for your table project?Bed liner sprayed this morning
Patriot brand, in case anyone was wondering.
Since they are a truck accessory place, I picked up a receiver adapter.
OP
Yep for the truck and not included....or it was forgotten.
OP
Adding some bracing in the torch table.
First piece to cut on it, the actual grating itself.

Very nice multifunctional welding table NuttsGT, I'm sure it will pay itself back in spades over the coming years.

Guess what I'm out of now ? I'll give you a hint.

If they were on the north side of town, a few. They are on the south side of the neighboring town, south east corner.
OP
At work today/tomorrow on a 48. Sunday, not sure what is going on, probably spend it with the wife. Monday, hard to say, waiting on an auction to end to make plans. Tuesday, back to the FD for my shift again.
OP
Did some work on the truck this past weekend. I ordered a few things from Ford. First thing up was a console vault.
Out comes the tray, which *****, as I like it in there.
In goes the console vault. It's held in by 4 screws on the inside and it has a 4 digit combination lock.

OP
Up next, replace some of the secured storage that I lost with this truck. My old truck had a lockable storage compartment under the rear seat.
With this kit from Ford, it provides a small compartment under the very back of the seat.
The kit comes as two pieces, which I could only use one. There's a smaller one that won't fit due to the 400W inverter. That's fine I can live with it.
The future plan calls for an aluminum box to cover the entire area under the seat.

Then came the road trip. As some of you have seen, I started a thread about road trips. I hooked up the trailer for the first time with the new truck.
In state to the north east corner by Cleveland for two stops. First was for the pallet racking. Two sets of 3 uprights and 12 beams for $70 each and a pallet of wire decking for $65~.

OP
The next stop was at Maple Heights for a bandsaw that I bid and won the auction for on Govdeals.. . . with taxes & fees, $117.85
After loading up the pallet racking, I was short on space. I had to loosen up the straps and hook another ratchet strap and winch everything forward.
Then after putting the ramps in place, I (with some assistance from the wife) laid the bandsaw down on its side. I think I might have entertained the guys watching because I told them it was like a 350lb saw. The one guy remarked at least that much.
After walking it up the ramps and the ramps had room to close, it was on the road. A stop by Culver's for lunch and back to the house.
It was listed as a model 3575 saw and I couldn't find anything online reference I model number.
Basically the same 7x12 saw that everyone else has been selling.

OP
Further inspection, shows Model number 920DV. This is the more appropriate model number I believe.
A shot from the other side.
I do know the motor works when turned on but the blade isn't spinning. It's going to need some clean up and probably a little TLC.

Swapped out the acetylene bottle yesterday.
As a reference, here's what we pay locally.

Your bottle snaffu is why I have both a female and male connector for the gauges. Irks me but at least I don't have to drive 40mins one way to the gas shop if I forgot to check the bottle connection.
OP
They offered to sell me an adapter. I said no thanks. I should have bought one.
OP
Slide out torch table is done.
I can pull it out 36" to a level position and still have another foot of table underneath. At 3', I can put my weight on the torch table and doesn't affect the entire welding table.... about 195-200lbs.

Nice torch table! Have you considered a catch tray for slag and flaming BB’s that seem to go everywhere and cause hours of concern?

Cuz after every welding or torch session in my shop I have to stay out there for almost an hour sniffing for that distinctive smell of smoldering Armageddon! Lol!
OP
I had at one point. However, when I built this addition, it was for parking the JD....as I built it, I decided to do all my metal working here as well. I have it set up pretty good for that function...no wood legs on benches and nothing like boxes stored on the floor.
There is a plastic 55 gallon drum that needs to leave.
OP
Finally got a chance to break out and use the Magdrill.
All just to weld a bolt in place to hold the bench wrench.

That made me laugh a little, using the right tool for the job even if it is a bit overkill. The table looks very functional, since you have the mag drill are you planning to put fixturing holes in the top?

OP
Actually, I used it to put two more holes in the legs on the other end. There's piece of rebar getting welding in for C-clamp hanging. Yes right too l for the job makes it soooo much nicer.
Yes, plans are for fixture holes in the top. Probably not a ton of them but yes, in the plans.

I did the same with mine, 1/2" holes on a 4" grid then modified some adjustable clamps with a piece of 1/2" round stock, it works pretty well except on pipe that like to roll.

Clamp holding rod welded in place. I used a piece of 1/2" rebar.
Then added a piece of 1 1/2" wide flat bar to hang the grinders on.

Plywood is cut for the bottom shelf and I am going to mount an electrical outlet on one of the legs with a power cord.

Plywood???? Right where sparks and hot a$$ things could land. 
OP
Yes.Plywood???? Right where sparks and hot a$$ things could land.
However, I have a piece of aluminum diamond plate I was considering putting down.
I never considered it being a problem until yesterday when I had the mag drill out and thought about the holes in the top allowing sparks from falling down there. Like I mentioned, it's a work in progress, building as I go.
