Got me a trash can for the garage at the flea market. Surprisingly I've never had a trash can in my garage, just been using a plastic bag hanging from the bench.

Most of my trash in the garage are dirty shop towels. Rarely ever oil soaked enough where they are a fire hazard but this trash can is just for that.

Wasn't a steal but it's like new condition & it's made by Eagle, same Eagle that used to make oil cans like the ever so popular Eagle 66. They don't make em like this anymore, well not by Eagle. New ones are plastic. I'm happy.

I need a can like that but haven't seriously looked for deal on it although it's always in the back of my mind to get one.

I saw someone listing an old cantilever kennedy tool box on our local classifieds. It's a little dinged up, and chipped up a little bit. I was looking for a small cantilever tool box to put my fly fishing/tying vise and tools, but this turned out to be a little bigger than I thought. My wife says I have too many tool boxes, but this one couldn't hurt to have. It's a Kennedy 1017-336418 . I may need to just build a box for my fly tying stuff.

I might use it for my 3D printer, soldering iron, and geeky stuff, but I'm not sure yet.

Good grief, am I slow. When I read "vacuum tube substitution guide," I was thinking of different diameters of hose to be run between a vacuum pump and the item to be evacuated My only excuse is that I've designed, built and run a number of high and ultra high vacuum systems ... much more recently than I've dealt with thermionic valves.

PS - Nice Lufkin! Looks a lot like the Starrett #196 set I bought years ago - matter of fact, the very first precision instrument I ever bought!

bought this for $47 off Amazon. Been after a decent metric dial indicator for years and jumped on this one. Not my best Amazon deal ever (only down from $118 ), but I'm happy. I'll let the kids "buy" it for me for Christmas.

sorry about the huge pic, couldn't figure out how to get a smaller one.

I actually did not purchase these. My son purchased them for $10.00 and gifted them to me.
