What Did You Buy Today?

NC and NF taps and drills to 1/2”
Four 3/8” HSS blanks and some 3/8 key stock for grinding practice with my yet-to-arrive belt grinder

I got a new floor today if that counts! The calcium carbonate they put on the streets was eating my concrete badly!

They are cleaner than my house ever is!
Though I have to say I took heart in the clutter workbench on @Overkill19 's bench.
Oh wait, maybe it just looks like that because of the floor work... sigh

Haha same here! Those are some nice shops! I wish I had a shop. My shop, er.. humble little workspace would easiky fit in the corner of one of those shop. I wish I had space.

I just moved (kinda) to a new town and left my shop (mostly) behind so I've been checking the "free" section of Craigslist for tools. Over the weekend I picked up a tablesaw that's the twin to my dad's old saw in my Michigan shop.



It's undergoing the evaporust treatment right now but has already made some cuts for me.

But today I was looking and this guy in Watsonville wanted some scrap metal hauled away, washing machine, car parts, etc. What caught my eye was this sweet little saw he was trying to get rid of.









Now, I've wanted a coldsaw for years and the thought of getting one for the price of hauling away some scrap metal....
Well, I was all over that.

HELP I'm falling, into the rabbit hole.....
I finally got brave and pushed the buy button on a 3d printer.
It should be here next week.

Why I bought it I don't know. I needed another lathe project like I need a hole in the head. Saturday at an auction I bought a Lodge and Shipley Patent Head 18 inch. I haven't measured it yet, but I think it's 96 inches between centers. Came with a 4 jaw, steady rest, 3 tool holders, and taper attachment. I'll try to post up some pics in the L&S section later this week.
