What Did You Buy Today?

[rdean]

One of the vendors said he had some large sanding belts at his home when I asked yesterday. He called me today to come look at it and I went right down to the market. He even threw in two pieces of 2 1/2" X 9' long sanding belts to sweeten the deal.
I will be going back to him in the future.

That's a score!

Rural Missouri is a good place to be if you are looking for farm equipment but not no much for finding machine tools. Last week, however, the stars aligned and I found these at an estate sale about 10 miles from home.

I bought 1 piece of sand paper at the flee market today. Actually a sanding belt.

View attachment 291091

The belt is 52" X 103" 120 grit made by 3M for $20.

I'm happy

You could run that on a treadmill.

Bought a bandsaw sawmill and just finishing assembly. Shipping crate weighed 1050lbs. 14hp Kohler and as it's set up can handle 14 ft by 31" dia logs. A fellow forum member "made" me want one of these. Don't think I really "need" a sawmill, but think it's a really cool tool anyway.

Do you live on acerage with lots of trees to process?
What you gonna do with it?
I've seen videos on those, pretty slick.

Everyone needs a sawmill.

Congratulations !
You don't need to live on an acreage to own a mill. I only have 2 acres her and probably saw a couple of thousand feet year from salvaged logs.

Bet that's a real Hartford head . Nice find along with the mill and sg .

That would be an even nicer score but I don't think Hartford SSs ever had black ball knobs on the levers.
