scrap yard treasures

admin

heres a welding table I picked up at the local scrap yard a couple of weeks ago I would have posted it sooner but my pictures wouldnt post for reason its 5' X 9' and weighs 1100 lbs it sure is nice to not be working in the dirt. The vice I picked up at a garage sale.

Reply:thanks man I was proud of myself, it will help make up for all the junk I bought, took home and stored for a while, and then took back at a 10th of what I paid for it.
Reply:Working at bench height is a real plus, much easier on the body too and you don;t lose all that time getting up and down. Good score. Looks like a solid vice too."One of the things we have to be thankful for is that we don't get as much government as we pay for."
