It seemed like a nice day for a casual drive (with my trailer).
Stopped for coffee at the gas station.
When I came out I learned somebody dumped this thing on my trailer.
What was I to do? It was far to heavy to unload without an engine lift.
I really wish people wouldn't litter.
.... my wife wouldn't believe me either.


Whipp 16 inch shaper, table is clean, gears show no wear at all. One bit holder, no cranks.
Should be an easy process to make her run.
Learning to make her run. That's a different timeline.
$125

I expect that within two weeks my Cincy Toolmaster vertical mill will be operational. Work has been getting in the way of turning new gears and pulleys.
The Peerless 6inch power hacksaw is next.
Followed by the Whipp.
Got a line on a Hardinge Horizontal Mill.

Hmmmm. Call my shop the "island of misfit toys".

Man I hate that !
A few years ago I had some one toss a perfect 340 engine in the bed of my '94 Dakota while I was gone fishing.

I took me a week to get it under the hood.
 
Shoulda got yourself a whole lunch instead of cup of coffee so they had more time to load stuff...
 
You know you’ve got it when you come out of the restaurant and there are 6 Guys standing around your trailer!
 
Man the only thing that gets thrown in the back of my truck is garbage. Mabe I need to park in diffrent spots!
 
Nice score on the shaper and it has the vise. Your one lucky guy.

Don't you just hate litter bugs.
 
Whats the address of that jiffy store with the great coffee? I will bring a trailer and hang out all day if somebody is gonna load that kind of stuff on my trailer for me. I won't even complain or fuss about having to unload it when I got home.... Great score, and if Momma believes the story, keep her around, cause I bet you end up with more donations since you got away with that one...

Nice score. Oh, I fixed your one pic so I do not have to twist my neck to look at it.
