The other half of my bandsaw order that showed up yesterday.

As unloaded off of truck and parked in the shop.


Uncrated but still on the pallet.


Mike.

You must have been a real good boy this year Mike.

I am going with YES, Ed. I've been very good, but don't ask my wife.

Dang, Mike!

Dear old Sandy Claws brought a trailer hitch for my wife's RAV4. I'll build a motorcycle/cooler hitch carrier for it.

Two years ago I bought a Craftsman cordless drill. Sales guy convinced me to buy the protection plan for it. Well, as he predicted, the NiCad battery died and wouldn't take a charge. Contacted Sears, who sent me a return label. After sending it in, I got a gift card for the full purchase price, including tax. So, last month I used the card to buy myself two sets of Allen wrenches (Metric and Imperial), which my wife & son gave to me for Christmas. Nothing like picking out your own gift to make sure it's what you want!

Wife just handed me this.  Ebay purchase.  No, it's not that fancy Lufkin stuff, just the cheapo Starrett.

$25, shipped.  Doesn't look to have ever been handled, much less used.

On the woodman's recommendation I got this on the bay from the same Amazon seller. Apx $37 delivered.



Haven't used it yet but will be very shortly...

These do come in handy. Bought one about 8 years or so ago not sure how much I would use it. I actually use it quite a lot.

Mike.

One of those has been on my wish list for quite some time now.

Not technically a delivery, but an addition to the shop just the same. I stumbled across this Brown & Sharpe dial indicator on CraigsList this morning and it happened to be at a pawn shop that was on the way home from work. I was somewhat surprised that they actually held it for me and gladly shelled out $30 for it. The box is shelf worn, but the indicator is as new. It has a range of .075" and .0005" graduations.
