Bought A Few Tools

Great for you, the that sucks for the rest of us.
 
Holy crap!

All the accessories in that load way out-does what I have collected over ~20 years. Wow!
I too am jealous but I am a big enough man to say well done; Congratulations!

Man, I almost feel bad posting this. Almost.

Today when I was leaving work, one of my co-workers, Brad, waved me over to his car.

And handed me this.

One of his friends is moving back to North Carolina, and was clearing out the garage. He told Brad to come haul off whatever he wanted, mostly woodworking tools. However, Brad knows I'm a hobby machinist, and his friend's dad was a machinist. This, and some other items were on a shelf. Brad's bringing the rest of it to me on Monday, not much stuff, but he left this in his car because it's fairly weighty. Brad fully understands that you never turn down free tools, and I was pleased as heck that he thought of me when he saw this and found out the guy's dad was a machinist. It's a bit crunky and needs some scotch-brite love, but it's been sitting on that shelf, wrapped in an oily rag, for years. And the price was right. Yeah. Free. I'm taking in a 12 pack of his favorite beer on Monday. It's in darn nice condition, and once cleaned up, will look nice in that Kennedy.
 
And now :you suck:even more. You are getting pretty well tooled up. :encourage: It's taken me years to acquire all the stuff that you got in the last week.
