Hope the picture comes thru OK

Holy mother of files!! How much, you probably **** pretty bad!!!

 

[RivennHewn]

Not only do you ****, but I think I hate you!

 

[jkherd]

Yep, it's official. You ****!

 

[djjsr]

$$$$ Care to share before the sucking goes any further?

 

[minerfarmer]

Had to pay 190 for it but I really wanted it bad. The vise was only 27.50.

Going in my new polebarn when it gets done. Should I paint it or leave it original?

I'm a fan of leaving original, as long as she cleans up nice.

Great find, by the way!

Is that a cable winder on top of that ? I've been looking for one.

 

[Bull]

That think is freaking awesome.

I saw to refinish it in whatever color you like best.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Pretty damn neat.

 

[Bugeyed Earl]

Killer find! What are the two white boxes on top?

 

[cbacres]

Nice heavy iron,bet its ball bearing slides.
Better than any box you can buy.
Great score!

 

[minerfarmer]

Yes it is a cable winder. I got two different sizes of them for 5 bucks each. They have a handle on them that folds the outer flange in so you can put a roll of wire on. Should be handy for pulling wire.

My hometown!! Youngstown was once a booming industrial area!! I wonder how that ended up out your way??

 

[minerfarmer]

The two white boxes on top is actually one heavy two drawer cabinet. I am not sure what the original purpose was but I intend to put it on a roller cabinet I have under my toolbox.

 

[JC23]

Forget you ****. I may haffta slap yer Mama!

 

[zkling]

Very cool. I hope for your sake it came apart for transport. That does not look fun to move.

 

[malibulvr]

I would leave as is, great looking bench! I bet that sucker is sturdy.

 

[buzz4041]

Great find.

 

[The FIB]

Nice, it looks like it has keys. Do all the locks work? BTW, you ****.

 

[anthony42hat]

You **** like a **** star! Great find...that thing is sweet!

 

[NUTTSGT]

Have you figured out a plan of attack on the new cabinet ?

 

[minerfarmer]

Yes the top comes right off it has a metal frame that lines everything up and holds things in place. It then breaks down into four sections that we loaded with a forklift and I unloaded with my D14 tractor and loader. When it was on my truck it had it squatted pretty good. I only had to haul it two miles from the auction house.

 

[minerfarmer]

Some of the drawers do have keys and I do have a key that fits them. It is bent and looks very fragile so I am going to have a new one made before it breaks. I am going to put the bench in my new shop when it gets done. The crew is working on the polebarn as I am typing this.

 

[NUTTSGT]

You have a build thread on that pole barn ?

 

[jeffmoss26]

Awesome!!

 

[caprice]

Thats just not fair

 

[minerfarmer]

They are trying to get the outside of my building finished today. I will try to get a thread started and pictures up tonight. Thanks for all the comments.

I picked up a standing General Fireproofing file cabinet at our local Abilities Unlimited for $20. Built like a tank and they clean up nice. I keep my Rodder's Journal collection in it.
