What Did You Buy Today?

Ok, all 3 of you have just volunteered to try out my new "hard wire" setup. You just jam the wires into my breaker box. It's a 70 amp circuit so should handle you and the machine at the same time.

I'll be outside cheering you on and practicing my social distancing :grin:

The Masterforce shop stool I bought earlier this year was starting to annoy me. Thought I would like the little butt rest thingy or whatever it's called but due to the height of this stool turns out I don't like it. So I bought a replacement bar stool seat. It was supposed to have a 5-1/4" bolt circle but the one I received was 7-1/2". Took the seat apart to fix it. Now I'm happy, so much more comfortable too.

I had another chair with a tractor style seat that I got like 10 yrs ago. Again I thought I would have liked it but same thing as the other one, have to always position the seat right to sit on. It is comfortable but it's hard plastic. Replaced it with the one from the Masterforce & I actually like that seat on this short chair.

This was all supposed to be a quick bolt on swap but nooooo, never that easy! Well at least I had fun playing upholstery guy for a few hours. :big grin:

Funny, the construction paper my lil brother had laying around that I used had the same name.

I've never been that irritated :dunno: :)
 
Well might as well through my two cents in. I have been doing a little too much purchasing this last couple of months with the inactivity due to Covid.
I am about 2 years away from retirement and trying to put together the equipment and tools to have my shop to do odd jobs from then.
So this is what I purchased so far:

1-6" Mitutoyo Micrometer set
(2) Magnet backed 0-1" Dial Indicators (For use on Lathe or Mill)
Noga DG10533 Dial Indicator Mag Base
HFS Coaxial Center Indicator
Mitutoyo 513-403 Dial Test Indicator, .008 Range, .0001" Graduation
0.251" to 0.500" Plus Pin Gauge Set
MT#3 Dead Center
2 Axis DRO and Scales for my Lathe

No lack of things that I need, despite the tools and measuring equipment that I already have.
