Evening chaps 


A rather nice Gilpin 1 3/4 lb straight peen hammer arrived today , adding to the collection   








And to aid in my quest for world domination   , a selection of used electronics books . 




A bargain at a few pence each  on ebay

Nice hammer Rob.

A "Black Monday" Enco special (25% off of sale price & free shipping.) showed up today.
1 ton Palmgren arbor press for all the times I wished I had one smaller than my 3 ton and ended up using the mill vice.

That's the way to do it, Willie. I have a two-ton that's too big for the small jobs, and too small for the big ones.

Yeah Mike, I hate when that happens too. Usually with what I need for the Z axis on my mill.

More Uther Peoples Stuff. Found this Atlas, (didn't know they made wood working tools) scroll saw at the dump. The mechanism works smooth as glass.

Good thing I didn't find that. I'd turn it into a die filer in a heartbeat!

So who paid who to take it out of the dump Greg?

Had thought of a die filer, but have a small one I bought as a casting kit. Probably clan it up and find it a needy home. Gave away a 12 inch bandsaw this week that I also found at the dump. Amazing the inventory people toss.

You're a good man Charlie Brown.

Hum, die filer.  I think you just gave me another project (like I needed another one)
