Today I acquired...........

[JOEPRO]

I got myself a new toolbox /tool chest from Costco. It is a 'Kirkland Signature 42" (106cm) RedLine 16-Drawer Garage Tool Chest'.

It was hernia-inducing getting it on the truck by myself.

This is where it will live, next to the lathe, close to the mill.

View attachment 434679

The toolbox is going to keep all my mill, drill and lathe tools.

I have thrown a few things in, but plenty of work still needs to be done.

First glance at your photos I thought you are in USA! We don't have Costco's in NI. I do think we are slowly becoming more American over here with more brands and shops creeping in. Not a bad thing just an observation

Esab sentinell A50 consumables
4 yellow outer lenses
4 clear outer lenses
6 inner lenses
6 front sweat bands
6 rear sweat bands
1 face seal
10 P3 PAPR filters
10 PAPR pre filters
All them original esab brand new for 50 pounds at an eBay auction , with shipping it cost me 120 euros but there are
80+ euros in outer lenses
20 euros in inner lenses
70 euros in sweat bands
40 euros for the face seal
And at least 3 to 400 euros worth in filters ...
Made a bargain .
So going to put my sentinel back in function in the next future and surely have to repair the eco aire papr unit got with my warrior tech air helmet.
I can also consider to convert the sentinel to the air version since I got the face seal for it.

That's a little win after paying 350 euros car insurance for the Audi (which will inevitably become mine cause my Punto still not running cause to the faulty ECU)

Tehyre pretty good boxes to be fair

Tehyre pretty good boxes to be fair

At the current price (£600 in store), there are probably not a lot of options out there to beat the Kirkland one.

On the website they are £800

I also looked at some boxes from SGS whose boxes are pretty good too and the US Pro ones on eBay.

My first box I bought was a US Pro box in 2014 similar to this and I am very happy with it. In 2014 it was around the £600 mark.

So far, I have no complaints with the Costco box.

 

[Arc Tourist]

Got this inexpensive piercing saw and 144 blades off ebay for £8.90. Its a nicely made thing it locks up solid with no play.
Haven't had a chance to put it to the test but ive no reason to think it wont be fine. Time will tell. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295103515434

Was this a One-Of item, or are more available from the vendor ? If so, could you provide the name the ebay seller uses ?
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip, I ordered one; good value for the money !

Pretty old but in pristine condition View attachment 434430a parkside belt grinder for few projects

Belts for the up shown grinder.

Going to have a look at the bar bed lathe I was talking few days ago.

Be careful when buying replacement sanding belts for the Parkside sander. They sell two sizes of belts, 75 x 533mm for your sander, and also 75 x 457mm which fits the Parkside belt sander I recently bought.

As some of you know I have been collecting Beach Tool Boxes for several years.
After 5 years of searching, we only discovered that this model had defiantly been imported last year, as we saw one on Ebay in London, just too far, then found one in Blackpool but missed it, then found one 40 mins away so finally the proud owner of a Beach B97 7 draw High Boy with side shelf.
If you see any Beach stuff or it can be rebadged Autopro or possibly Cartel tools let me know.

 

[Tupers]

Local auction had this listed as a torque converter but it’s actually a brass oiler and very beefy looking clutch.

Nice one mate. I'm pleased you're pleased

 

[Kram]

Im shocked to recieve a first class post the next day, as we rarely see a postie all week and I have two missing items waiting somewhere.

3mm carbide endmills. Carbide only because I couldnt find any HSSCo at a sensible price, all more expensive. The part I am doing is stainless although I have a test part in alu so thought I'd try a fancy coated type for that.

 

[God mode restorations]

Recently acquired.
A very unusual hand crank drill. I have a couple of union hand crank drills that I use regularly. But this on is a lot bigger. Two speed quill. Head can rotate but also has two tables that can rotate and height adjustable. One side has a built-in vice...dated 1880s from my research but actual manufacturer is unknown. Has a big flywheel on top. Hand wheel.

 

[Kram]

From Zoro, lots of cutters.
I was expecting the XLS (extra long series) 28mm 2 flute to have somewhat longer flutes.

 

[Seadog]

I would have, too.

 

[Rannsachair]

Someone had left a bag of HSS mills on my doorstep today, I suspect it was my local Garden Machinery guy that I did a couple of wee machining jobs for a few months ago.

 

[nickk]

Digital volts/amps display for one of my migs,part of UKCA requirements,typically the previous one only lasted 7 years. Lots of levels for assisting with speedier handrail installations,then some pentagonal strimmer cord.

Nice, the ones I have bought (under your terrible influence) should be arriving tomorrow.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A Box.
I was asked to see a old friend, so I did.
She made coffee as well.

The box was not empty,

5 rusty and seized mitre clamps, all of different size.

A battered Camping stove tin.

Complete, with extra bits. But the seals are shot.

Nowt like a bit of sweet muffins.

A tiny seat/bench.




That lot was not the important bits.

I hope this lamp with be suitable for my latest Pifco lantern.
It should be a 6v Flashing lamp,

Nice!

Show us where you put/store all this stuff.

You must have a massive workshop storage area as you are the main 'culprit' on this thread
