Today i visited a flea market, usually there is good stuff this time of year, did managed to find this machinist clamp and this 19mm drill with MT2 to MT3 reducer, both need little clean up but ware at a good price.

Thanks, John and Mike R. (I'm a Mike R., too!)

I'll wait until the 4 ft. T8's I got a few years back go south, I guess. The major lamps are 96" and they last damn near forever.

Home Depot has the Philips brand 4' T8 led lamps, that don't need the lamp rewired. Just under $7 a piece.

I bought out an entire shop over the weekend . Lots of wood and metal shop items . Lathes , saws , sanders , drill presses , planers , tool boxes , tooling galore . I only needed a few pieces but ended up buying it all . The gentleman who owned it was 95 years old and was going into a nursing home and selling his house . He had a few estate sales and no one seemed interested in the shop stuff . So in a way I helped him out I guess , but now , what to do with it all . There are truck loads of beautiful woods of all varieties in there also .

Great to see a shop pass on and not get trashed. I wish I had heard about that sale. I'm right around the corner.
