About a month ago a used JET 9x20 lathe followed me home.($400) It needed new belts, 2 new gears, a good cleaning and alignment. I added a wheeled base to raise it to a more comfortable height for my old back and eyes. I still need to get a drill chuck for the tail stock and some HSS tool blanks.



It will make a good companion for my Seig X2 mini mill/drill.

I needed another bench vise so I picked this one up today for $20..i thought it was worth it..

[nc_cooter]

I think you got a great deal on that vise. Size?

I managed to pick up a few nice items from the roadside during a bulk waste pickup.
1. Outdoor gas heater, quite good quality. All that's wrong with it is the piezo ignition is broken. Truly a horribly wasteful device, but lots of nice thin steel plate, copper gas tubing and a large piece of thin-wall stainless tube. Also a huge aluminium dish.

2. Good quality Australian made gas barbeque, with a roasting hood. The plate is missing and the piezo ignition is broken. I have no use for it but it will make a nice workbench.

3. Singer sewing machine, mostly cast iron, made in Great Britain. Sews well but stinks like burnt electrics. An excellent find but may need work.

I also found a short section of heavy galvanised fencing and a few lengths of 3/4" water pipe.

A mechanic friend also gave me this brake drum and flywheel a couple of days ago. I think my junk eye is becoming nicely tuned.

A neighbor wanted the barnyard cleaned up, and I got this pair of old iron farm machinery wheels given to me.

My wife 'confiscated' them before they were even unloaded from the pickup, and placed them near the back steps.

So does this count as "It followed ME home?".........I wonder........

The cat is not new, and has been here for some time.....pay him no mind.........
