New Tools

IMG_20190101_170953.jpg I like finding new to me old tools like this 2' Starrett bench level.

The 4 deep shelves above the bench are 48" long cubicle desk tops. I even had the right amount of the correct tapcons to hang it all, total out of pocket $0.00! I may put some pegboard up one of these days.

The pic of the shelves wouldn't rotate for me.
 
The level came in the package deal when I married my wife this year. It was one of the few tools left that her father had. It's a heavy beotch, cast iron.

I still have a bunch of basement crap and tools left at my house that I need to bring here, then get that house ready to list.

Willy, your project turned out great so far.
 
I need a heater like that in my garage real bad! Looks great and I'll bet it keeps the place nice and toasty. I don't have gas to my garage or I would already have one installed.
 
That's a beacon Morris 45,000 BTU furnace. It works great. I usually keep it set on 55 degrees all the time. Bump it up to 60-62 when I'm out there working. When I moved in there was an old ventless heater on the wall so there was already gas there. It's an attached garage.
 
:hello: My garage is 552 sq. ft with a height of 8 ft. I've been looking at window A/C units. For the size that I need they run around $400. I have no need for a heater. We've only had one frost this year & only one night that went under 40*. It's been in the mid 70s during the day & mid 40s at night.

I really like that cabinet to the left of the filing cabinet
 
The drawers are my old 24x36 drawing files. They are 2" deep ball bearing drawers and open up 22" leaving 7" in the back that things can roll into the I can't find it space. Probably should get some no skid liners. Works great for hardware in the little boxes and tools in cases. Once I figure out the permanent home for my stuff I will bring home the p-touch label maker and make things easier to find.15479322970525901470939641033207.jpg

:hello: My new/old electric buffer is still working good after 5 years. It cost $80 from Harbor Freight. The table that it is mounted to I found in the woods. :laughing7:. I put casters on it so that I can push it outside to do my grinding or buffing. That way I don't make a dust storm in the garage. :laughing7:. Also I had to fasten down the cord. One time it wrapped around the buffers shaft. :laughing7:. ____________________________________________ IMG_7257.JPG IMG_7254.JPG IMG_7255.JPG IMG_7258.JPG IMG_7256.JPG IMG_7259.JPG IMG_7260.JPG IMG_7261.JPG
