JHCC Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 A visit to the ReStore yielded what is apparently known there as a “Nancy Special”, which is when Nancy doesn’t feel like pricing things individually and lumps them all in a box together. I’m not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 You sure use a lot of jack hammer bits don't you John? Did the box come with Nancy's Special? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Had to run to tractor supply for some chicken stuff and some bolts. Saw this in the clearance isle for $3.50. It came home with me. Also got a backup of welding wire since I loaded my last one. It is never good to run out when you are really moving on a project and the stores are all closed. On a side note, I hate when weather and schedules interfere with cleaning the coop on the regular. It was rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big ones from Home Despot are great stock for hardy hole tooling (especially with their built-in collar/shoulder), hammers, and trading. The thinner ones in this batch will probably end up as chisels and punches. 3 hours ago, Frosty said: Did the box come with Nancy's Special? It did!

LeeJustice Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Yesterday was my birthday. Lori gifted me some RR spikes and a bending fork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Today feels like my birthday. Got a working Hossfeld #2 bender for $45. I need to make some dies, but this completely changes how I’m planning how to proceed with the current stair rail commission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!! I hope you stopped on the way home and bought a lottery ticket! That puts you on the short list for SWEET DEAL of the day! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anvil Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Awesome score! I had a good blacksmith that I helped out on occasions. He had a hosfeldt and one project was a fabbed spiral stairway. The hosfeldt got quite a workout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Forgot to mention: the seller still had some of the promotional literature that was old when he bought it used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad J. Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Nice find, I'm curious why he's wearing a lab coat in the picture though... Went up to St Paul to visit my oldest daughter over the weekend for a late Christmas. She got me a really nice new shop apron. Stopped by a Half Priced Bookstore where her boyfriend works and found a few books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott NC Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I got a bandsaw with a fried motor at the flee market last Friday. It's the same model as one I already have but was so cheap I could not pass it up. Also a couple of books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
