What Did You Buy Today?

[matthewsx]

I've been looking for another torch set since I sold my shop back in 2014 and the buyer wanted the one I had thrown in. @MrWhoopee posted this one in my town and for $200 I couldn't pass it up. When I got there yesterday I gave the guy $200 bucks and he handed me back a twenty

Cool guy who was moving out of town and realized it was too big for the jewelry work he does.

Victor torch and gauges with the same size tanks my dad used to have, score....

Hit an estate sale yesterday and picked up two B&S surface plates, one steel and on granite....$100 for both. Went back today to see if the Duracraft horizontal band saw was still there but got there just as the new owner was loading it up. I go inside anyway and end up buying a crate full of metal stock for $20. We load that and the guy says"take this flex shaft die grinder on a rolling stand", and then said "take all of these boxes of hardware with you." Score! Guys dad was a machinist for the National Security Agency.

Ok, here are pics to go with my last post. Remember, $100 for 2 surface plates and $20 for everything else.

Yeah, but how much did you have to spend it gas to get there and home?
Really nice score, congratulations!

It was very close, probably 10 miles. Definitely worth it.

Yesterday I bought this table for the metal base thinking I could use it for some/all of a new welding cart.
The seller thought the top was melamine but turned out to be a sheet of 1/16” steel with corners. It used to be a display table at a Gap store.

It had an MDF base glued to the underside of the steel top. I managed to peel it off so now have a big steel top 74.75” long by 34.5 wide”.
I’m thinking that I’ll cut it down to the size of my bench top.

The steel frame is 1” square, 1/16” thick.

I took base apart. It was just bolted together. So I have two "U"s which are about 29" tall and the big diamond thing from the middle. I’m wondering if the steel is too lightweight for a welding cart. Maybe I can use the 1” tube for vertical supports and buy some thicker stock for the frames.
