with help like that, I think I'll pass.
the water for the shop has its own pipe, but does share the same ditch with the electrical conduit. Trying my best to keep everything up to code, you know, just in case I need to get inspected for whatever reason.
A- Resource utilizationI can come over and help with your wiring if you want Sean. I did my whole shop and no issues so far.

that's good to hear, just seemed like a good idea to tape going into a metal box.
I hate junk tools. I think my strippers are ideal brand. Much nicer then the cheapo junkers. Screw drivers are all snap-on, so no issues there either.
Little scrounge this morning . 
Not sure about this one think it’s for sharpening mower blades

We had a couple of the bulk oil dispensers like that here at work, I think we sold them for $150 each, 20 years ago.
The Columbian Vise is pretty nice, too. I would bet the Wilton is a lower quality offshore model. I have a couple of Parker vises that came from family members, a heavy one on a pedestal mounted on a Truck brake drum and a lighter one I haven't mounted yet.

pffffffffff why go to all of that trouble when you can do this!! Twist and tape baby!
In case you're actually wondering yes this is in my house and yes it is live, no I did not do it. So dude named Albert probably did it in the 50s while smoking an unfiltered Camel. I am currently getting all outlets on it rewired, hopefully will be able to turn it off tonight.
I believe it’s an American made Wilton . It’s in the rust bath right now
If anyone had that for sale here it'd be at least $50 each. Family members don't even give anything to each other.
That's what I paid my wife's Uncle's estate for the big one I had. It was marked $200, still there the last day of the sale. I don't think the money went to the estate, I believe the now ex-cousin in law pocketed it.If anyone had that here it'd be at least $50 each. Family members don't even give anything to each other.
The other was my MIL's estate, I did just haul that one home. I did also make several delivery trips on my dime, the BIL doesn't have a full size truck. We made 6 months insurance and utility bills at that sale.
You're kidding? Those vises alone are $$. And that metal brake.... something I could use.
I’ll be getting more stuff in the future. Sad story my wife’s friend husband went for a knee replacement . Seams it went terribly wrong he died on the table due to lack of oxygen. He was resuscitated but suffered permanent brain damage . He had a very good business at his home doing small equipment repairs he is retired military.
My wife has been helping her as I have with selling off the equipment. But now we’re getting into the inside shop where he worked in winter . It’s packed with stuff and she’s getting pretty run down trying to settle everything. So I’ve been helping her get stuff to the dump with my dump trailer . 5 trips so far and it’s still a huge mess . We have someone coming to buy all his tool boxes and tools all snap on and Matco .
She’s still waiting on the lawsuit and things are a little tight . So the money will help .
If anyone is interested I’ll pass your contact info on… PM me.
Who you kidding? Even the Amish guys wear Rolex's in your neck of the woods.If anyone had that for sale here it'd be at least $50 each. Family members don't even give anything to each other.
True...the Amish definitely aren't hurting. Haven't seen one wearing a Rolex yet but they definitely carry some gangsta sized rolls of Benjamins.
Water cooled electric. Those are quite the thing in computer boxes
Sister bought an older house and all the wiring was the old paper covered stuff. It might have been OK, but up in the attic, there were two junction boxes with 3 - 5 circuits twist and taped in each one. Dad and I rewired the whole house.
I have a Columbian vice very similar to that one, but it says D66 1/2 on it (but it is a 3 or 3.5" vice). Was the first vice I ever purchased when I bought my house back in 1977. It is made in the States!
