Made one last trip to my deceased friends old shop today that is being cleaned out as the bank is changing the locks on monday.
Picked up a few more #1 M/T drill bits, a few more jobbers length bits, (These things were lying in the junk on the floor,) And then bought a Screw Press with a 2in dia screw they were going to scrap, it is on a HEAVY shop built base that must weigh 200lbs.
(It was a nasty lift for two of us to get it up into the back of my truck.
Also got a sweet little 3in four jaw chuck from the Watson MFG co. that fits the "Baby Grand" lathe they built at one time many years ago.
