Hey Gunner,

Just a comment.....I have about what you say, some of them from
similar sources. I did buy up the "remainder" of stock from a local
vendor that was switching brands some time ago, each individually
wrapped in protective paper, about 50 files for 50 bucks. Good deal !

Indeed!!!

Anyway, of the 50, I have about 10 "in use", and the remaining 40 or
so are still in the boxes they came in, in a drawer for files. The
really small files, Grobet rifflers etc. are in folders as they come.

I also have three files at each lathe, and they hang in slotted "spoon
racks" that I pick up at garage sales. Works a treat, and that's
where most of my filing is done with bigger (than the Grobet) files. I
don't seem to do a lot of bench filing by hand now that I think about
it. Guess I usually use a power tool !!!???

I have files hanging beside each or ON each machine that I would
normally use a file. Works well, not pretty though.

A friend has (all dimensions are guesses) about a 30" tall X 16" wide
per-panel X 4-sided free-standing "lazy-susan"(??) that stands on his
main work-bench. Each side has associated tools, pliers, wrenches,
screw-drivers, files & punches. Most of these are arranged so that
the "working" part is visible for easy selection. I won't try to go
into the actual construction, but each "row" on each "column" for the
tools can be removed and a "better" model put in its place quite
easily with just 4 screws. If I had room on top any bench, I'd build
one !!

Same here. Lots of work benches..but little free space on them G

This past week...I emptied a 10x20 storage unit that an old friend had
gotten past due on...some $800 or so dollars behind. He was simply
going to take a few items and walk away.

So I told him we would get it empty if I could have any/everything I
wanted, which was most of it and he agreed.

I didnt realize..that he was into art....
..blacksmithing..shooting..light machining...survival....etc etc. So
for 3 days..we emptied the damned thing out and moved it to a
temporary location until this coming week when I could bring down a
trailer, load it up..and take it home. Thats changed to at least 2
loads..maybe 3. Everything from gunpowder to vacuum pumps, to a 3'
stack of gunsmithing books to 500 lbs of actual wrought iron..and the
forge(s) to heat it with...and wooden block planes to body hammers to
decent axes..on and on and on....

He didnt buy much from Harbor Freight either. Makita, Delta, Ryobi,
Millwauki, Juki (2 industrial sewing machines..and (4)
sergers....endless list of Stuff. Lots of it will go on Ebay...some
will be offered here..some of it will remain with me...VBG

So I appear to have even less room for a period to come.

True indeed. I recently rebuilt the hydraulic vari-drive components
on that lathe. Clausing wanted $55 for the parts and $25 shipping.

The parts were O rings...6 of them. And would fit into a cell phones
battery well.

I picked up a proper set of O rings, square profile, at a hydraulic
shop in Bakersfield for $5...and they tossed in a complete extra set
for free.

Clausing must have machined there $55 o-rings out of the skin of a
newborn for that price.

It is all the documentation, to verify that these here O-rings are
truly Original Equipment Manufacturer's O-Rings. You are not buying
just nay O-Rings, you are buying "Clausing Supplied O-Ring"(tm, pat
pend, nil obstat.) Sort of like how stainless steel parts double in
price when the word "Marine" is added to the description.

Plus the shipping and handling. And the secretary's time to
personally type up the invoice.

She's all sorts of table top cookers, seeing as how the stove is a

The idiot that the previous owner hired to remodel the kitchen put
every outlet on one 15A breaker. Anything more than a crockpot can trip
the breaker the fridge is on. I have a new breaker box to be installed,
