These followed me home today, I was going by the junk man's place and he flagged me down, told me if I didn't want the little wood lathe he was gonna junk it. Its small and cheap but has a self contained motor and variable speed, A widow woman wanted her garage cleaned out, I don't think its ever been used.

The motor is a 1/4 hp Monkey Wards repulsion induction motor and runs good.

I couldn't refuse them.

Here's something that followed me home.....about 15 years ago!
I was cleaning up the back of the shop for the first time in years, and happened to find this little squirrel cage blower.........I,d forgotten about having it.

Now I can't wait to hook it up and try it out!

Kinda like gettin' something new, and not having to pay for it,

or I got myself a present 15 years ago and I,m just gettin' around to opening it,,,,,,,

I must not be getting out much :-)

Jayco, That looks like it would make a good small forge blower.

My New Bumper followed me home from the Powder Coater today.

this table didnt follow me home, it just showed up one morning
oh i knew it was coming, i just didnt expect it this soon, what a surprise, was woken up early a dew days ago to a loud crashing sound, so's i commenced to looking out all the windows, when i get to the front window theres my friend rolling the table up my driveway

about the table, it is just a few inches shy of being 8 feet long by 4 feet wide, the table top is 1/4 inch thick, it has some very nice wheels to move it around

its just a bit to big for my shop, im thinking maybe to shorten it to about 5 - 6 feet long, unless i can better organize my shop, then ill leave it alone

or maybe cut it in half, make it so's it can be put back together rather easy for those big jobs that i know will happen as soon as i cut down
be like dadgum i wish id'a left this thing alone

Bentiron, that's just what I was thinking........I puts out a goodly amount of air........made a round sheetmetal air gate to cover the air intake today.......I think I am 'good to go!

If it doesn't work for a forge blower it'll be dandy to circulate heat from the wood stove in winter.

Frosty, you're right.......it would work with the woodstove!
The last time I 'priced' a direct replacement for the fan assembly that mounts on the back of my King wood heater........the price was nearly $100!

Needless to say, we placed a 'dollar store' box fan behind the stove that winter........worked well enough.

I got the little fan in the pic for $3 at the flea market
Even though I'd forgotten about buying the fan at all........when it comes to money, I remember!
