Didn't get much of a chance to post this summer/fall so I'm playing catch-up. Tooling budget has been tight so I avoided going to sales.
Freebies.
Haven't plugged in the Servo yet, wiring is iffy and I want to tear it down and verify it's condition.
Not even sure if it will fit the BP. Going to have to start a thread on it when I find out.
A face plate (D1-4) for the Birmingham, and a stock stop for the mill.
...
-=-
The Auction where that South Bend Lathe that I posted about was at.
I bid on this just for the Tach, didn't pay much attention to the Calipers until I picked it up.
They are 8" Mitutoyo's!
Also scored a lot of (3) dremels, all but one were toast. They was also a pack of router bits from HF that they included...
$24
-=-
Estate Sale where the owner had owned a hardware store.
Snagged all this for $26.
-=-
Estate Sale where the Gent worked for AT&T. Most of the stuff has 'Bell System Property' on them.
Came to ~$40. Honey treated, she had scored a ton of Longaberger baskets for re-sale, and I made up a line like 'Well if I gotta load up all that stuff I'm going to need some tools', and she fell for it. (not)
-=-
Single item from a Widow's sale. Made in the U.S.A. Installed a keyless chuck on it and have been using it regularly since I got it.
-=-
Estate Sale. final day. $10
Under the header of 'Charlie Brown and a Christmas Tree', this poor thing was sitting in a corner.
Couldn't leave it behind.
My plan is to knock down the rust and then clear coat it and create a derelict out of it ala Icon4x4.
Ran out of warm weather to execute that plan.
