What Did You Buy Today?

Had to buy a new read head for my lathe DRO Z Axis. Found a supplier in Canada but the price was a shocker at over $200.00 CDN. Checked Aliexpress and got a direct replacement for $40.00 delivered, in a little over a week. Very happy with results.
 
Congrats, nice score! Around here those kinds of machinist boxes on CL $300 for just a top box filled with odds and ends. Obviously being sold by a relative who had no clue…..

Yeah, and the guy I got it off of, was flipping it! I didn't even try to dicker, which is very much against my nature, just kept my mouth shut and started loading it.
 
The yearly 'worlds longest yardsale' was this weekend... it stretches from Alabama to Michigan. We go almost every year, usually to the part of the route that is in Alabama.

This year, we started in Crossville, Tennessee, and worked our way south, back toward Chattanooga, TN.

Along the way, I picked up a few items...

A pair of rubber chocks, 2 for $5...

2 flap discs for my angle grinder, also 2 for $5...

Four sturdy steel 30" stools, $15 each...

And a Walker-Turner scroll saw, complete except for the motor, I think... $45

I'm not sure why I bought the scroll saw... it was just interesting, I guess...

You got some nice stuff there Bear. I really like the the stack-able stools. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be long before they turned into impromptu saw horses in my shop. Then morph back into butt holders for beer drinking. Mike
