I have had a pretty good run of luck lately in tool finding. Thought I'd share some pics of my scores.

First up were two of these Craftsman hydraulic stools. The backs were missing, but these are the same ones Sears had on sale for $40 or so around Black Friday. Total cost was $8.

Second find was this Craftsman band saw. After buying a screw from Lowes to replace the bent tension knob, my total investment is $14.

Next find was this Rockwell Jawhorse that was missing the back leg assembly. I bought the horse and plywood jaw for $12.50, and spent another $20 online getting replacement parts. As soon as the last package arrives, I'll have $32.50 into a fully functional Jawhorse that looks pretty much brand new.

The "throttle" switch binds up just a bit as you start to push it in, but yes, it works fine. Plan is to take the cover off of the switch and see if it's just something that needs to be cleaned.
