Just picked these up today

[Ray-CA]

The adult school that I'm attending (autobody repair/welding) got some new equipment (stuff that was being tossed like several Miller 220 MIG's, a like new tire machine and balancer, a few hundred pounds of lathe and mill tooling etc.) and we had a shop cleaning day. We cleared some wall space and these cabinets had to go. With no place else to install them, they were getting tossed. Well, they got "tossed" into the back of my truck (with the instructors blessing.) Not too bad for free. A little cleaning, maybe some paint, we'll see.

Thank goodness you were around to save them. Great score. I hope you have the room, or can make room for them. It would be great to save that first aid sign, or decal, just to mess with people, why does he have such a big first aid cabinet in the garage??

I already have a "first aid kit":

The class got the welders and all the machines. It was amazing what was getting tossed. We found a 4-drawer tool box full of micrometers, gauges etc. Most still unused.

You say "adult" school. What kind of school throws away stuff like this? Better not be any kind of school supported by my taxes in any way. I can't afford to buy tooling for my lathe, much less a newer and better welder.

Ask whomever has this "tooling" if they want to sell any of it to a retired old man.

It is being held at a local high school. The ROP program folded and they are "cleaning house." They want the instructor to toss just about any tool more than 5-years old and replace it with new. Yeah, like that's going to happen. We just keep rescuing it and putting in the shop. We are running out of room though so eventually it's going to have be an "out with the older, less capable machines and in with some upgraded stuff."

I got an old combustables cabinet at the junkyard one day and painted it a nice guardsman blue, bought a set of rocker panel decals off fleabay that say Shelby on them in white, and found a set of repop Shelby American Racing Equipment stickers for the front. Now all my friends think I have old Shelby factory cabinets in my shop....NO I AM NOT A CHEVY GUY.
