The Mustang is for Sally so that she can be a cool kitty. Lol

I couldn't resist getting duplicates of equipment that I already have as the price was so good. It was such a nice day weather wise yet nobody came out for the equipment, most of the stuff I got was on my second bid, no one else bid on the milling machine, good thing that I don't need a digital read out to operate them. I learned basic machining on a machine like the one that I bought. Wait until everything gets unpacked on the weekend and I have all the drawers cleaned out and the cart of crap sorted, then we'll see what was really bought.

Mustang Sally is cool.
Likely you could sell of what equip duplicates you don`t want and further your garage fund. Weird that on a nice day not many came out but that`s good thing.

I sure like the idea of 2 drill presses, 2 metal bandsaws, 2 grinder stations but don't mind getting rid of some of the things that I have 3 to 6 copies of. Yard sales will take care of that and should bring in some extra work, it does pay to be the neighborhood handyman who has a do everything work shop.

Good morning, how is everyone on this thong Thursday?
I like yard sales but I haven`t been to one for a while now.
Is it another chilly Manitoba morning Grant? Hopefully the last really cold night is behind us now, it`s finally supposed to warm up here.
Good morning John, how`s your day looking?

Maybe the reason heavy things are a good buy is that they`re too heavy to lug home?
Good night Perry.

Good evening

My new 600+ lb toy, I need to stand a\on the back of the hoist to counter balance it and every time I pump up the hoist the hoist tips forwards and I need to lean back in order to get the rear wheels back on the ground. It took 4 big guys to unload it off a pickup truck onto a 4 wheel moving dolley.
