Well I didn't buy anything but did stop by and see a good friend of mine. He gifted me some brand new #2 taper bits, a few green wheels, a diamond cut off blade, 10' of 3/4" nylon all thread, couple of cans of cleaner and a dozen halogen bulbs.
Just part of his haul from a dumpster dive.
We wonder why things are so high, yet the waste in this country is rediculous.

Jsh, Regulations, liability, and law suits all have a lot of business scared to do anything except destroy or discard stuff. Most do not even let people that work for them have/purchase it either. Law suites have their place but so does common sense but I think a lot of people have lost that.
The stuff mentioned, in a nut shell, had been in stock over 9 months and not sold. This is not on all items in this store, but still quite a few. These items were brand new, never used.
The drill bits mentioned, two days later a shop called wanting one of a size that I got.
No sale.....
The other fasteners and stuff he has just makes one shake their head.

Nice!
Looks like maybe one of the earlier 4-step pulley versions? And in its original livery yet, too. Is the serial number still legible? I have number 976.

This is an upgrade for me. Sherline mill down in the basement and it is just too small and light.

Friday evening I met up with Brentos from HM up in Bainbridge NY . I went up to the property up in the Adirondacks and he met me near his hunting camp up there . It was very nice to meet his wife and his parents as well as Brent who is an aspiring machinist trainee . Nice family one and all . His Kennedy box was delivered as well as a set of point mics and a drop indicator . So he bought something related to HM . Me ? Well of course I sold him his tools and I met up with my buddy up in the mountains and bought a Remington Model 700 .338 Winchester Magnum . He has 4 more rifles of old age straight out of the Illion factory , one of which is a serial # 0000007 . I thought the guns were all sold last year but the other buyer couldn't come up with the bucks . I was quite surprised and happy to find them at his place and I had the chance to purchase them from him . I wanted something from his cabin and some of his posessions just in case as we are all getting older . All in all , a great weekend ! ( there was still 2-3 foot of snow on the property but the weather was sunny and the dogs and I got to run in the woods for hrs ) 
If you ever need something bigger made let me know. I’m not much for fast turn arounds but if somebody needs help around here I’m willing to try.

Today i was in the area where the scrap yards are located so i stop by one i've been before, i found couple of things first of which was this small red shelf clean good for light things, then i found the green bigger shelf this one needs little cleanup but the size and shape is perfect for machinist tools and last thing i found was this working big cast iron air compressor, is russian made probably from a truck, i do need a bigger air compressor, so it may become a project for the future, all together just under 10$ so worth the visit.
