We expect your shop to be immaculate in all future pictures....

Well Robert, If we could change "immaculate" to "less bomb site like" I might be able to live up to yall's expectations. Mike

The problem with it being "Immaculate" is, you forget where you put something and have to tear into everything to find it and it becomes a mess again.
I just live with a kind of "Controlled Chaos" environment, that way I know where all the bits and pieces are.

Today i picked up the steel plates i've ordered couple of days ago, up to this point i've managed to get cheaper materials for my projects but this time i sure got overcharged, i paid close to 2$ per KG which is 10x more than i usually pay, but i could not find those dimensions anywhere else. Those in the next weeks will turn in wheel adapters for the little niva.

Today While i had time between my youngest daughters softball games I was fortunate enough to come across a guy selling his Grandpa's Mitutoyo calipers model 505-626 in good working order with normal wear and tear type usage marks evident. Although they didn't come in a case its not something I could really complain about considering I only paid $20 for them for which I Am Completely happy with.

I know its a "little" nivia, but only three wheels?

Seriously, I can't wait to see your plan.

Three wheels and two spares should be enough, haha . The forth one has already been made, and tested with the spring removed all thru the front suspension travel and should not rub.

I had been looking for a small tool chest and didn't feel like paying retail $45 to $60. Saw an add on CL that included several tool chests including the size I was considering. Seller wouldn't separate. I had to buy all three. After a little bit of haggling he finally took $60 for all three of his tool chests. Don't know what I will do with the other two. On the way home my mom who turns 101 in August told me that I need to buy more stuff to fill them up.



When I got them home I discovered that the seller had left a bunch of misc stuff in the drawers including some sockets and wrenches and a torque wrench. I think that I got my monies worth.

Picked up a rotary phase converter at a nearby auction last week-end. It's just like this one:

AC29 TRU-WAVE™ PC0029 - Rotary Phase Converter Converter 29kW/40HP

<p><strong>This item has been discontinued and is no longer available.</strong></p>

temcoindustrial.com

It looks almost new. I got it for about half what a new one costs. Not a screaming deal, but not bad.
