An AXA tool post with three holders:

And a job lot of imperial taps and dies. Got these for £9 (10USD). I only have metric at the moment as that’s most of what I need (being in the UK), but I needed an imperial die and it so happened to be part of this job lot, so I’ve now a bunch of imperial taps and dies.

Today, while drinking coffee, I negotiated for another chuck with a buffalo on it. Yes, another one! It's PUM branded, which means "precision chuck manufacturers" and is seen as PUMm, PUMi, PUU, or PUT names for chucks that came from Bial in the 1970s when they were leading the way with CNC grinding and machining. They sold chucks to the Soviets and the world with the famous Bison logo on them, and I just picked one up for $200 delivered in clean, straight shape.

I now have a 14" independent (Bison), 12" scroll (Bison), 8" scroll (Bison), and this 8" independent. Now I can chuck up small/normal sized work. I still want a flex collet chuck, but then I'm done. There is such thing as done, right?

Nice score on the chuck. As to your question, LOL-LOL-LOL-LOL, oh stop, my sides are hurting. Cheers, Mike

I haven't seen it yet.
I heard about it in an old story, but I believe it was fiction.

I used to think so but when my buddy passed away I thought he was done, but the boxes kept showing up on the front porch..............................

2 grand worth of parts for the wife's mini cooper........

Edit, since a couple "wow" smilies have popped up: timing chain, valve seals, thermostat housing, vacuum pump, accessory drives, belts/hoses/filters and other misc gubbins.

Yes. It lasts from when you wife complains about the last purchase, right up until you unexpectedly see the next.

Which reminds me: I haven't checked Craigslist today. It is almost Free Treadmill season.

Today i stopped by my local flea/tool market, mainly because i got a call from a friend that he has seen car parts for cheap. It wasn't anything special but i did managed to find a new clutch disk from my littel niva 5$, two thermostats for peugeot also 5$, bosch oil filter also for peugeot 2$, some 20w50 engine oil and 2 stroke oil 4$, a new lock for one of my sheds 6$ and last was this big sheet metal shears 10$. The metal shears need some work but are still in working condition, i may fixed them just for the fun of it.

The 1 1/2 drill bit I ordered arrived today. The one I used to cross drill the valve stems on the Holt is on top of it.


Also bought three Starrett pin vices. Have had multiple occasions where they would be nice to have. The larger one will be used to lap the valves on the Holt.
