Scored a few tools

[Goat Driver]

One of my neighbors called me on the evening of 09/12/13 and asked if I wanted a work table that they were going scrap at his factory..so I said... Sure! He said he would be at my house in about 20-30 minutes. This is what he showed up with...

A 4' x 10' table with 1/8" top and 3" x 3" x 1/4" legs and bracing.....(i know they did not build it right...but it was free)




It was 43" tall so I cut it down to 36" this morning. that's my youngest son cleaning up the cut with the grinder.




and its ready to work on...I like freebies!!




This is the old No. 504 Columbian vise that a guy gave me a little while ago, cleaning it up and I think it will work just fine on this table.





Now forward to 09/16/13....another nice score..although this cost a little... but it was a really great deal!

Bought these old metal cabinets, a vise and a little black and red box for a few bucks.



Here's some shots of the contents......

















A Starrett No. 196 dial indicator




and a Wilton 835 vise


Don't be hating now....:whistle:

Holy crap!

Look at those end mills! Are any carbide? I don't know why it looks like it. And set screws! And a Starrett 196(my favorite)! Holy cow!

There are very few carbide pieces in there, mostly HSS stuff and a few cobalt....but I won't be complaining. :allgood:
