Are you trying for a full set?

 

[Brad93]

More benches, cupboards and drawers to move on.

 

[Brad93]

And some lovely workshop stools, also to move on. The slider feet really are much better than wheels.

Oh and two sets of plan chests. Lovely old things on roller bearings and super heavy duty.

All you need to do is hand make a loaf of bread . Gets all the grime out. Tell anyone who queries the colour of the bread its the flour you used.

I've seen several of those on Garage Journal being used as tool drawers.
Can never find stuff like that around here.

 

[Olderisbetter]

Mate had this in the garage sitting around

so he gave it me to use, quite a big saw and about 25 years old but like a lot of my made is the USA Dewalt tools it works well still and feels quality.

I love those plan chests. I had a set of heavy-duty flat-file cabinets years ago, but unfortunately they stayed behind as part of a house sale. Very handy! It's amazing how many large, flat things one acquires in life (and how much space they take up when one doesn't have proper storage for them).

150 ton press came with some odd bits

that’s a 5ton forks for size reference

 

[Brad93]

Like new but gone stiff.

 

[Pete.]

Tiny dribble of solvent on the stem will sort that out. I never saw a half-tenth indicator that size before.

Me neither

This bottom of a water tank to make a firepit for the garden. I think it's a bit on the large side so I might cut it down with the plasma.

Nooo... Just make a bigger fire!

 

[DennisCA]

I found a place it might work without cutting it down actually so it might get to remain whole.

Great piece of kit.If I am correct there was a mirror behind the dial,so that you could line it up and get a true reading.Great for capacitors +ve to charge it and then reverse the leads. You could see the cap slowly discharge.

Too true, it could of been mine.

There is, to avoid parallax error. The error between the viewed reading and the true reading.

Very important when tuning a circuit and you are looking for a dip.
