Judson Yaggy Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Just brought home an old and BIG Aurora drill press. Stands about 7'-9" tall, 3 phase, power feeds all work good, feels like it weighs 1500-2000#. Local Craigslist for $250 including a Jacobs Superduty 1/4"-1" chuck on a Morse #4 taper. Looks like it used to belong to NBP, wonder if they ever made any of their steam hammer parts on it? Hope these photos work, first time I've posted photos since the new format.

That's quite the find. I hope they didn't charge you extra for the cat though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Ha! I'd like to say the cat came free but since she fights everything in sight the vet bills add up! As you can see she was sizing up the press before I'd even taken the straps off. Sorry about the obnoxiously huge size of the photos, I'd specifically resized them in my photo editor before posing as I've found oversize photos annoying recently, but I guess such things are beyond my ken.

Paul42` Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Couldn't resist... about 150 railroad spikes! Most have "HC" (high carbon) on the head. Oh ya... also brought home a Lincoln ACC-225 stick welder in like new condition. No pics though... it's "hidden" in the garage...lol!

Jura T Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I got a welding fume extractor for three bottles of cognac. I have had it for couple of weeks now and I really like it. Earlier, when welding or quenching in oil, I had to open the door to get all the fumes out. That method isn't too nice to use when it is -20C outside. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinton Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 my neighbor had this hood in the back yard it will be a nice addition to my forge, planning to install it this week end and add a ring around the bottom edge to hang tongs on. this measures 42 inches dia and it is 6 feet tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Nice sized hood, I hope those are female dogs, otherwise it will be christened. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old Lincoln AC/DC stick welder I bought new about 27 years ago. Since my small gasser won't hit welding heat I fire up the Lincoln nearly every day. It sure comes in handy!

I think you are right about that it was probably a discharge chute for seeds or fertilizer I live in the salad bowl area, I think it will make a nice hood it used to sit over an outdoor fire place until the house sold then it was removed for code issues, gonna go put it up today and try it out, I will get more pics on when I am done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Amidst the rain this weekend, on my way to the post office, I stopped at a garage sale and bought a Whitney #5 Jr. punch complete with box and all punches for $5.00, I thought it an excellent bargain. The card inside the lid had a publish date of 6-50. Some dies have more use than others but the dies are still made by Roper-Whitney for $11.00 a set. Prices listed in the lid were much cheaper in 1950. It is much easier than drilling holes in thin gage metal. It will be a tremendous help in jewelry making.

ThomasPowers Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Well it hasn't followed me home yet but I bought a Champion #1 powerhammer last week; $600 but with a 5" faceted leg post vise thrown in as boot. Located about 3-4 miles from my place too! now to get the #0 and #1 together to get acquainted... Sigh, go looking for a large hammer and only find small ones...

I lucked into one last summer for less but it didn't come with a box of punches. I contacted Roper Whitney and they make punches for them still. handy dandy thingies for sure! Frosty the Lucky. P.S. No Sam, forget it! I'll let you give it a try if you want to drop by though. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds pretty sweet Thomas, though I don't know a #1 Champion from a guy who came in second place. Gosh if I just had a picture to look at I'm SURE my enthusiasm for your good fortune would skyrocket! Once they get aquainted properly maybe you'll come out one morning to find a litter of #10 Champion power hammers. Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Frosty; I'd really rather spend my $20 a week allowance on tools and supplies rather than a camera; shoot I don't even have a cell phone. If you really need to "see" it I could suggest a visit down here where the weather is *nice* and a tree's bark is worse than it's bite!

Okay, gotcha allowance budgets are a must. <sigh> I wish I knew the name of the taown in NM but one of our guys is in your neighborhood at an iron pour. I think Pat has a camera, maybe he'd like to visit. If I were on that particular field trip I'd be looking for a cheap place to sleep so long as the chores weren't too strenuous. Seriously, if the Iron pour is something you're going to look for a LARGE fellow named Pat Garley and tell him I said hi. He's a great guy and hosts the annual June iron pour here. He's the guy on the stand next to the Cupola. The pic of the gal in the firesuit doing the "unique" iron pour is good testiment why it's a bad idea to give an Alaskan gal too much trouble.

Mainely,Bob Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 WOW!!! That`s an Alaskan WOMAN??!! And here I thought our BMWs(Big Maine Woman)were tough customers! They do have something in common with their Alaskan sisters though,their taste in clothes. Is she wearing a flannel shirt and Carhart jeans under that firesuit I wonder?I see she`s got Redwing boots on her feet :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOME neurons survived you know! I don't know what brand the boots are but I can say for certain there were NO laces. I really like this gal's leathers. Frosty the Lucky.
