Went to the shop that the auction was held at the other day to pick up my treasures.   As promised, here are the pics.  There's one item I didn't take a pic of and that's a tailstock.  It's a bit huskier than I expected, but it's purpose hasn't changed.  It will be used with the rotary table.  On second thought, I will add the pic...  In fact, it'll be first.  It set me back a whole $5.  As you can tell, I didn't bother to clean it up.  The #14 wrench is there for size reference.



The chainsaw is a Homelite and the main reason I bid on it was because noone else did.  Also mine quit a couple of months ago.  This was also $5.



I am forever losing allen wrenches.  Probably because I don't really have a place to put them.  Soon I will...  This, too, was $5.



If these look tapered, it's because they are.  I haven't gone thru them yet and cataloged the tapers, all in due time.  This one I didn't even realize I won.  I thought I was going to be outbid so I stopped watching it.  Then when the auction summary came in later that evening I wondered why it was more than I expected.  That's when I saw that I actually did win it!   It was $65.  



I've needed a parts washer for some time, this one closed at $15.  Someone had already relieved it of it's pump and sprayer but it'll still work.  If necessary I'll use an air powered pressure wash sprayer, or I'll dig up a pump from something.



And last but not least, remember above me saying I'll have a place to put them allen wrenches?  Well I have a drawer full of those little Surplus Shed bins with my endmills in them.  Now they have a real home, plus room for the reamers and taps currently in another drawer.  Not sure if I'll put any drill bits in them, for now the index I have works fine, but that may change. The allen wrenches and the chuck keys I had gotten at a previous auction will go where those bins and reamers are now. I paid more than I wanted to for this tho, still cheaper than new and they cleaned up really good.  I did find some drill bits, including center drills in one of them.   These are Huot and I know of an ebay seller where I can get them for $72 each, shipped, all day long.  I paid $155 for the three of them and had the pleasure (sic) of cleaning them up.
