It followed me home

[Pault17]

today was a gangbuster for me, I picked up about 40 feet of 3/8 round mild, 12 feet of 1/8 round mild and 8 pieces of 1 1/4 square thicker-than-thin wall square tubing. All of it just took me the time to stop and pick it up off the side of the road.

I also get to order a few pairs of tongs from GSTongs, along with a square punch

Hello all, A question about what followed me home? I don't have any pictures of it , but we have all seen it. I am talking about a treasure chest full of information every time we log onto I FORGE IRON.
The blue prints are what i am talking about. There are a bunch of guys who share a lifetime worth of knowledge free for the taking. Some of the neatest projects, the neatest ways of doing things and all the technical knowledge passed along is better than anything i have seen anywhere.
To all the guys who have shared their knowledge with us through the blueprints and everything else on this site, A big THANK YOU from and old texas farmer. Lyndon Wagner -- texfarm

Followed me home from ebay

Meco Weldmaster torch with 5 welding tips, a rosebud and a cutting head. Looks like he had done some silver soldering or brazing with one tip and lit the cutting torch once to make sure it worked. BRAND NEW condition. I have been looking for one of these off and on for a couple years after I had bought a used one from a friend. These torches are no longer made but sure bring good $$ on ebay. I have bid on quite a few and gotten beaten out. Cutting tips are still available from other manufacturers and I recently got what is probably a lifetime supply of various size tips for oxy/propane (ebay). Have wanted a torch to match my existing one so one can be set up on propane and one on acetylene with all parts interchangeable.

BONUS-Meco Cutmaster in excellent condition. BIG cutting torch with lock-on lever and uses the same tips. This is my new "outside" torch.

Bonus-2 lbs of Harris StaySilv15 silver solder. Near as I can figure from a site where this can be purchased on the web is that this is worth about $140 $2.55/stick


Total including shipping $73

Snuck this in over Thanksgiving weekend. You snooze you lose!

Hey Sam, If that followed you home for free, you got a steal on it. We had to pay $50 for the one I have in the shop, and that was on a "good" day (read as: blustery cold and nobody wanted to stand around at the auction). A big auction with lots of collectors, that exact grinder in that exact condition can bring upwards of 120 or 130 bucks around here EASILY. Good job!

followed me home, heavy bugger.
#2N Buffalo Forge Angle and T cutter.
These bring anything on the open market?

Bruce,

Not sure of the going rate, but anything less than $75 should be a steal, I would think. IF you don't have room for it, I would give it a home for ya!

Maybe some of the veterans here will know more on it.
