PAY IT FORWARD -- Tool Giveaway/Exchange

[Branson]

Give me a couple of days to find and photograph something appropriate.  I'm in the middle of insulating and sheet rocking my workshop, and can't seem to find anything!

Branson:  your pin vise finally went out this week, sorry for the delay.

Not to worry.  And I'm still wading through all the stuff that has to be organized and put some place accessible in the shop.  There ain't no trees, nothing but a forest with lots of underbrush.

Branson, did you have some "Before" photos of your shop? to see the change after remodeling?

[Branson]

The before photos would show an empty back yard.  There had been a garage many years ago (the house was built in 1925) but it burned down -- long enough ago that there
wasn't even a sign of the old foundation.  So, not a remodel, but a new build.  Everything got expensiver and expensiver, so things got done in stages.  The last stages were
getting the electrical done, which meant disassembling what had been done so I could work, and get out tools that had been in storage.  And as long as almost everything was
out, insulation and sheet rock went up.

Now that the electric is in, and the sheet rock is up, I'm putting everything back in a more organized way.  And that is taking more time than I thought.

If Branson will permit, I will give this a Friday night jump start.

Here are two nice dupes from my 1/2 x 9/16  DBE collection,
 and a vintage PLVMB 3/8 extension (both arrowheads point down, whatever that means).

Look em over boys !!  You know how it works!

[Branson]

I'll definitely permit!  I've spent the past weeks working on my shop every day.   Electricity in, insulation up, sheet rock up, one workbench disassembled to get it out of a friend's basement and reassembled in its new home.  ShopSmith returned to service (new motor, pulleys put in their proper position).  Yesterday I finally was able to move the 4' by 8' work bench in!  It's been almost 10 years since I last had it to work on.  Built in more storage (much more still needed).  With that big work bench I can lay out big batches of stuff to sort through for the pay it forward.   Still have to get a lot of boxes and some chests of tools out of storage and into the shop, leaving enough room to work comfortably.  Next step is to disassemble the General National table saw, now in that same basement, haul it home and reassemble it.   There's even enough room for it -- the 4 X 8 workbench will serve as an out feed table as well.

I thought (silly me) that all this could be accomplished in a week...

Bump to the top...  adding  Bonney  3/8 Sliding Tee.

Come on now - you know you want it !!

Okay, I told self that if they be here by evening, I'm jumping in, I just checked and the sun has gone down.   Those Easco wrenches are starting to grow on me.   Consider them taken.   Now to head out to the shop and find something to photograph. 

[john k]

Here tis, very decent, almost unused Craftsman metrics.  The all important 13 and 15 are there, and the  increasingly popular 7mm, speak up they can be yours. 

[bunger]

I need those. I'm finding that I don't have enough metrics and Cratsman's are my working set.

I'll dig out something later today to put up.

[Branson]

Thanking everybody for being patient with me.  I just got enough cleared in my shop to put a pay-it-forward package together.

Kraeuter #948 battery pliers
Kastar feeler gauge set
AC sparkplug gauge
A[ex #1510 stubby bit holder NOS
Clip for S-K Wayne #45 M wrench set -- metric

I'll send 'em out a lot faster than I found them!

[keykeeper]

I'd like to have that lot, Branson.

Mainly because my initials are AC and I pickup anything that has AC on it in the way of spark plug tools!

The rest is pretty nice as well!!

[Branson]

You got it, keykeeper.  PM your address and it will be on its way.

[bunger]

Well I'm confused.
Do we have 2 pay it forwards going here at the same time?

Am I getting johnk's offering and am I supposed to put up something, or is keykeeper next up because he is getting something from Branson?
