Bought two Dayton Branded (KENNEDY ) lowers for 100 a piece. Gotta clean out the mouse **** P I S S (is invalid here) , and prime and paint the rust on 2 drawers from the mice. The other one is in good shape. No keys.. but I don't need them. Really heavy duty. I'm going to need help from a friend to get these down to the basement.

You did good , wish I could get around better . I'd have one to mount my atlas mill on . Most of the lowers are flimsy , the good ones like these usually are over priced. I'm jealous well a little bit. Good luck mouse's need homes too. I usually feed them these little green blocks and they don't come back.

Found an estate sale today. I usually don't go to tool sales if they don't have pics in the ad showing what they have. But it said machinist sale with lathes and mills so I took a chance.

I got these all this for $32o. At first he wanted $500 for the Volstro head and $500 for the dividing head. I told him we were too far apart. Offered him $250 for both.

So I went to find my girlfriend and while I was waiting for her he came back and said $300 for the two large items. He threw in the little rotaty table, clamp set, and spin fixture for $20.

I'm not even sure what the Volstro head is used for, but they go for $400 to $800 on Ebay.

So I took a chance. I'll probably sell the Volstro head.

Went down to Branson Missouri for vacation last week and stopped by Grizzly in Springfield to pick up a few things.
18" x 18" x 3" Granite Surface Plate, Grade B. Didn't want to pay shipping on it so I waited until vacation to pick it up.
A 115 piece HSS Drill Index, a couple of Mag bases, a slitting saw arbor and a wheel for the grinder. Total was $201
Now I need to make a table to hold the Surface plate.

It's still there. But costs way to much to go. We had the kids and 2 grand kids with us. 6 people would have cost over $300.
$62 Adult, $60 for senior and $51 for kids, that's each ticket.
We got show tickets thru our Vacation Club for free so we got to see 5 different shows.
We liked the Haygoods and the Hamner Variety is pretty good also.
 
We managed to hit a really decent estate sale / auction this weekend.
Scored a circa 1951 Miller Falls Drill sharpening jig:

and a decent Yale Chain Hoist. I'm trying to get a 'smallish' one to use for the mill vise, lathe chucks, and the RoTab. I can't seem to toss them around as I was once able to . . . This one is too big also...

and then the "pièce de résistance" - my wife scored this during the auction:
I'm out of room in the shop so I'm not sure what the devil I'm going to do with it.
Sure is a neat small horizontal mill. Runs real smooth considering the motor arrangement.

Also scored and old Darra Table saw and a Oxy/Acetylene set.
