I got that from Amazon and they didn't have the 6oz size in stock to I thought 12oz didn't seem like much. Boy was I wrong. Yikes
That's a big jar. I'm going to distribute some of it to my siblings.

I use it in the seasoning I make for cooking shrimp. Good stuff. Drool

Better to buy that at the local "metal finishing supply" company.
13 cents per lb. vs. $2.00 per lb. sitting on the store shelf.

But you have to buy it in 50 lb. bags, so there's that.... Rotfl
Im assuming they're machinist jacks, the ad for them at the dump wasn't were explicit.
Perfect height to use with the vice on the mill.

Nice score Greg. Thumbsup

Yep, they're machinist jacks. My dad had a couple just like them.
Neat-O! They look like they're a match for my C-Clamps.
Well my mister showed up today. Now I just need to build a portable stand for it. I'm thinking brake rotor, some conduit and an aluminum block to adjust the height. I want to be able to move it from the lathe to the mill as needed. Even tho for $5.75 I could always buy another one.

Bought an old 4 1/2" machine vice and am very pleased there are no signs of abuse. Decided to give it a full spa treatment before it starts its new life on my mill.

Vinny,

I'm awaiting your review of this mister. There seemed to be two different styles available. The one you have with the ball valve and another style with what appears to be a needle valve. I'm curious if the ball valve provides sufficient control. I'm not saying it doesn't, just wondering.
