Craigslist and Garage sale scores!

It's good for building welding tables. I loan out my Hougen periodically. I'm going to see if I can 3D print the buttons. Milwaukee sells a replacement panel, but it's $400.

The one good thing about estate sales.....I've been getting up at 5am for 7am starts, done by 11 and onto home projects. Before I started this routine, I'd sleep in or lounge till 11am and the convince myself it's too late to start doing anything and so I'd watch tv all day.

Picked this up along with a lot of Excellence mags from a seller on Craigslist.

Free off kijiji. Table and chairs. The chairs are junk, but the table is real wood. Once I refinish it, I'll have to figure out what I'm doing with it.

I was thinking more in terms of being patina'd by some grandkids after refinishing it.

Got an unused supposedly custom built humidor off of our neighborhood buy nothing board. I dont smoke cigars and wont ever. But it I will use it for something. There was a bit of sap that had bled through the cedar. Got that cleaned up with denatured alcohol and it turned out really nice.

$50 on Kijiji. Older couple downsizing for the second time.

In order to put tall bottles, I removed a shelf (that was a job and a half, mortise in and glued).

GF wanted an exercise bike. Free off kijiji. One of the welds on the handles was broken. Couple minutes with the mig and its better then new.

Kijiji deal of the day. Free steel office cabinet. Will look great in my garage with a coat of paint.

This week I will be cleaning them both up and then hopefully will find a place to display them properly.

I've always had concerns about theft, so will have to figure something out to help keep them from being carted off by some lowlife weasel. I live in a decent town but we do get our share of thieves.

I could never understand why concrete statuary is so damn expensive??


I found a dolphin one that I really liked. I just couldnt justify paying $700 for something that is basically 3 bags of Sakrete..

My latest recent flea market score. A Magma gas grill for the boat.
This grill alone is over $500 new. The cover itself is another $100 , plus the rod holder mount is $125. They are super expensive.

It was a pricey find at $45.. I almost fell over when I asked the guy what he wanted for it. Actually felt guilty... ( for a second or two..)

Nice score, Vinny!

Yeah....I would never pay $700 for a freaking statue! Got mine years ago when the pricing was more reasonable.

Today was apparently "table day'....I picked up 4 of them! Pics later.

[Baz]

Table scores today.......all free.....and will be put to use......

I really like the little green wooden one!

Those things go for over a hunny around here.0

Picked these up last night (Craigslist). Advertised as 300lbs each. I don't think so....more like 500. I can't help myself - I'm a scrounge. I would have no problem climbing thru a dumpster (if nobody was looking).
