What Did You Buy Today?

Feel like I need to call out @pontiac428 and ask for forgiveness :D.... must be the peer pressure guilt kicking in, lol.

This is one of two things I wanted to buy and not make myself... I know, I know "buy the tools to make the tools"

But this and the Langmuir Arcflat welding table have been the two things I knew that I would be buying already made.... I really did not wanted to tackle making these two tools...

This arrived today. Still need to weld the tabs. I also got a foot pedal to control the hydraulic air jack. Will make it so that I can use the hand switch or the pedal switch.

And implement a few more ideas from what this guy did:


 
These ongoing threads are awesome on those days when I really get to slacking off on spending my money. Days where I just sit there, happy with the world and everything in it because I got all the bases covered. Nothing can get to me, I've got a full set of 64ths Allen keys to handle whatever life throws my way.

Aww, who am I kidding, I've never had a day like that in my life. Today, I owe @woodchucker whatever the equivalent of the you suck graphic is for "I blame you." (We should get one added, if for nobody but @wachuko.)

I just got a perfectly good Dymo after my ancient P-touch took a dump last year. But WTF, you can burn stencils now? And I have this Luma electric etcher, a box of wool daubers, and some salt... But stencil tape is only available on Brother label makers? Well, of course there's a catch. Fine, twist my arm. This is potentially too big to pass up, I want to play.

While I was spending money, I decided to spend a little more on some much-needed toolbox organizer tray thingies. They may not create free space, but they make stuff easier to find.
