I spent the afternoon dismantling things. It made more sense to get some of the big stuff torn down, it gained me the most space. I cut up the light bar that I bought at the auction, I even got it out to the scrap pile. I will test the lights, not sure if they are worth much, but I will find out.
I also ground off all the slag and remaining welds from the table top that I hope to use for a welding cart/table. I did not snap any pictures of the process, I was just happy it was warm enough to do it outside. Here are some of my deals from Sunday's trip.
Palmgren 8" Machinists Vise
Louvered panels, the nasty looking bent one was free. I bought 13 of them and most were 18" wide by 60" long, some were longer. I am still not 100% sure where these are going yet, some will end up getting cut up to fit in smaller places, some may even get sold.
I bought a few more spud wrenches, you can never have enough spud wrenches!
I also bought another cart, yes another cart. This one is heavier duty than one that I would like to replace. It used to have doors, but I kind of like it open.
Then there are the bins, I bought lots of bins, they are all heavy duty USA made ones.
I have no real clue why I bought this arm, but it seemed like a cool future use project. I was thinking of setting it up near the bridgeport and the lathe to use as a crane. I will need to get a small electric winch, but it is rated to support 150 pounds at the tip.
Last, but not least, I bought an 12 volt electric lift cart. This will replace my old manual one. It has a larger table and 1000 pound capacity. Considering the table is larger, it doesn't seem much bigger than the old one.
I'm in the same boat. Oh yeah... I have 5 boats.
Just caught up on your thread. I would have bought that lift cart also. It'll be very handy.
