What Did You Buy Today?

[NCjeeper]

I did a little antiquing with my wife today. I picked up these goodies for the shop office. The lighter was 5 bucks. I figured it would make a good torch ignitor.

So this happened today....

I have a Clausing 6913 with a pile of tooling, but it has a few things that need to be addressed so it's mostly been sitting. I've got two other lathes so I haven't been under pressure to really dig into it. I saw an auction I've bought from recently had a 6913 partially disassembled and I couldn't resist. All I know is what you can tell from the one picture. The previous owner was a pretty famous machinery guy (his info has been posted here) who restored a lot of machines, so I'm not sure if he was taking it apart to part out, or taking it apart to restore. I'll pick it up next week and see, but it wasn't expensive, so I'm going to be fine no matter what happens. It looks pretty clean so I'd be surprised if it has a terminal problem, but that's possible.

I finished going through all the extras that were hidden from view in this picture (a couple in the cabinet on the end) and wow...I'm pretty happy. Five chucks, two L00 face plates, a Jacobs 100 center rest armature chuck, a couple of Williams 466 spanners, five woodworking clamps, a box of HSS, and a Goodell-Pratt No 522 milling attachment. Shockingly, the one chuck is an 8.25" Buck Adjust-Tru that is going to clean up really nice.

Simple but satisfying

Did you buy that?

Your skates look sturdy! The casters you used look like the ones I used for my Logan on the tailstock end...surprisingly nice and not ridiculously expensive. Did you run the bolt I see through the foot pad through the skate as well?

I am in the process of getting my garage shop organized. I needed a small parts cabinet to fit in my large cabinet. So off to the local swapmeet this morning. Found exactly what I was looking for. Missing 5 drawers but I can make some wood ones.

The best part is it was only $40. It needs a good cleaning. There were lots of dividers to boot.

My wife asked if I wanted to go to the flea market today. There were hardly any tools. I did come across these, I didn't really need or want the buttons, but threw them in the bundle asked for a price and offered a little less. $40 for this... 3 pieces of cobalt .
The Ames works well, I didn't need another drop indicator but... one 1/2 Cleveland twist end mill in good shape.

I like it. I think I would do 2 wide drawers on the outside ones. For a total of 4 drawers on the bottom row.

I was working on my lathe in the garage when I heard a truck arrive, some grunting, and then it drive away. I found this on my front porch. I ordered them from Vevor a couple of days ago.

They appear well made. The 4-pack of skates were on sale and the jack was priced too good to pass up - and free shipping! The toe jack would have been handy several times over that past several years and I'll need it soon when when I get lathe reassembled. Then I have to shuffle a few mills around.

I have the same jack. How's the paint job on it? On mine the paint does not seem to be fully cured and leaves blue marks on the floor (and on my hands)

Can you attach a tow bar to the skates? For easy pulling?

That was my thoughts also. Actually ditch the single on the bottom and make 3 double wide.

Unfortunately it is a bit to large to fit in my cabinet. So it will live under my rolling work bench once I make room for that.
