You have simply *got* to go see his back yard. I've seen some guys with scrounge-itis, but this guy is THE CHAMP. Lives in dry central California so he doesn't get a lot of rusting which is good because he'd need a sizable small warehouse to store the contents of his back yard properly! Wish there were more like him .. I'll be dropping him off some of Ernie's fabled free welding rod this spring on my way to LA! Maybe I'll shoot a pic when I get down there .. GWE |

(blue thingy above the red hose reel above the orange mig welder) I built over the last couple weekends a 16' x 16' "awning" to cover the welding and wood working tools. Ill finish it up this weekend, weather permitting. The 4x8 x 16' timbers were free from Leigh at MarMachine from a demolished building, the 3.5" pipe was free from an oilfield co. the 3/8" 4x8 ply sheets for the roof was from BIG machine tool packing containers...the rafters were scrounged. So far, Ive got about $10 invested in it. Mostly welding rod, nuts and bolts from Reliable tools fasterner bins....I get that stuff for about a buck a pound..brother in law discount...G Nearly everything you see in the pictures was scrounged or taken in trade for other Stuff. I have mostly gas and a few gallons of sweat equity in most of it. Very little money which is good, cause I dont have any. Folks have been good to me, and I try to return the favors to them, and to others in passing things along if I cant use em. Sometimes I manage to sell a few things here and there, but no one comes over and goes away empty handed without getting free Stuff. Tools, materials, parts, dogs, cats..the usual... "Cast your bread upon the water and it shall be returned a 100 fold" Once I reached a certain point..it kinda sorta snowballed on its own. Anyone need a gas fired heat treating/melting oven? Commerical grade, about 18"x18" x 20" deep? Free to a good home. Located in Costa Mesa California. Includes the burners, regulators etc etc Im glad to see that somone got the EDM and Tree CNC mill..I really didnt want to have to move them.... Im home on weekends, if anyone wants to make a road trip. I might even feed you. Need cats? Pups? Kittens? Stuff?

Anyone need a gas fired heat treating/melting oven? Commerical grade,
about 18"x18" x 20" deep? Free to a good home. Located in Costa Mesa California. Includes the burners, regulators etc etc Im glad to see that somone got the EDM and Tree CNC mill..I really didnt want to have to move them.... Gunner, I'll happily take the furnace. I'm also the one getting the Tree CNC mill, but, just to be clear, I'll have to see about the EDM machine. My little two car garage is starting to look too much like you back yard, which shouldn't be a suprise because most of the tools have came from your yard... When I talked to George he said the EDM machine had about a 3'x3' footprint, which I can wedge into my shop, but if it's much bigger than that I just can't fit it in, especially with the Tree. There's a couple of things that will decide it for me... The ideal would be to find a inexpensive shop somewhere in Orange County, or Nearby. (I plan on starting a more serious search in a week or two, but while I'm on the topic, any one know a good shop space, or willing to rent part of their warehouse? I'm looking for something in the range of a two-to-six car garage, to be used for blacksmithing & fabrication mostly, with a little bit of machining. It'll be for hobby use at first, but I'll be building a small business out of it...) |

Don't take this wrong Gunner (stuff follows me home too...lots of it)
but have you ever considered what will need to happen if you EVER HAVE TO MOVE? Take my advice and keep that possibility in mind....I never thought I would have to move either and the first of many moves was a heck of a shock. Thirty years later, I still mourn much of the stuff I lost in that first move. Never have been able to replace it. TMT |

Lives in dry central California so he doesn't get a lot of rusting which is good because he'd need a sizable small warehouse to store the contents of his back yard properly! Wish there were more like him .. I'll be dropping him off some of Ernie's fabled free welding rod this spring on my way to LA! Maybe I'll shoot a pic when I get down there .. GWE Blush....ah...I had to rent a warehouse a couple months ago... I trade out Stuff for 5000 sq feet of oilfield warehouse with a 5 ton overhead crane and easy access. Btw...a guy on your way bought the lil Lorch lathe, and if you have a pickup, you might make some gas money on your way back north delivering it to him. I think he is in the Sacromento area. And of course..you get full and free access to the Piles of Stuff while you are here. Ive got to go to Lancaster next week and pick up: Baker mills Nichols mills 11" Logan and lots of extra parts (will part it out..several collet closers, turrets and whatnot) Kalamazoo bandsaw (gonna keep that one..will have others up for sale) Bead blasting cabinet a bit bigger than mine, will sell mine Tap disintergrater (will use that for a years rent at the warehouse and I get to use it G)) I also will be picking up in Santa Ana Airco 300 mig welder, minty and complete (3 ph....anyone need a NICE commercial mig machine?) Weiler turret lathe, minty (5C, with tooling) Lincoln portable mig (135?) Near new 36" x 48" blast cabinet with collector and guns and consumables I traded that stuff for the Sizouka horizontal/vertical mill that Id advertised for a while... In the warehouse at the moment is... 14" Logan lathe Gorton 016-A miller with vise and full set of collets, ready to cut chips Eldorado gundrill Several commercial air compressors Kaeser screw compresser (15hp) 3 Boyer Shultz surface grinders (cheap project machines..very rebuildable) 11" Logan turret lathe, running sweetly several 220 single phase welders, Lincoln and Century..all excellent another tap disintergrator, never been powered up, rough..belongs to Leigh at MarMachine Materials racks (pyramid style, 7' tall, double sided, 9 layers per side, 2 complete sets (2) Strohm 15mm screw machines. Minty plus with accessories and bar feeders A bunch of drill presses and parts for Sears, and import presses Other stuff that I cant think of at the moment.. Oh..about 100 cans of GE potting compound if anyone wants some..free, expired dates, still seem to work fine. small, pints and quarts Several gallons of epoxy primers Zaggar automatic drilling unit and Emerson singlephase to 3 phase converter VFD to run it. Hobart Cybertig 2 500 DCS welder with plasma welding torch and console (tig, stick plasma) 500 amp, 3 phase. Runs nice... older Pexto 52" stomp shear converted to hydraulic Newer Pexto 52" hydraulic shear, runs Great! 220 Single phase (16 ga?) This of course does not include the Stuff at home, or in my lil home shop... I really need a pneumatic tired soft ground forklift and some pallet racks. Backyard....or where it used to be.... Ive got a ****load of mold heater cartridges NOS, commercial photo electric units, shrink wrapping line heaters, transporters and a couple complete in the box Allen Bradly conveyer line controller systems with video monitors, plcs, and spares. Anyone need any Horton air clutches, brakes and rebuild kits, plus torque saftey clutches? 3 Ph electric motors? Right angle drives? V, timing and transmission belts (3000+)? Sheaves and bushings? (Browning and Martin) Thats just a sample of the Stuff in the back yard....

Actually not a bad idea....
We all sometimes want to negotiate soft ground with heavy iron. Considering the knowledge and experience of this group, if you can't buy it then Gunner should be able to make it. So if we were going to design a floor for Gunner's backyard, how should it be made? What kind of loading are we talking here? Durabiltiy? Metal, wood, stone or some combination? I do know that if you implement a portable floor, you do want to be able to pull it up later. If you have every had animals that like to burrow live under a building or driveway, you know why. Once I saw an implementation where a guy first did some ground leveling and placed gravel for drainage. Next he laid many layers of plastic down for a vapor barrier. Finally he took 1/4" steel plates and after laying them side by side, tacked them with a welder. It worked very well. The oil and grease from the machinery kept the steel decking from rusting. Since you live in the desert Gunner, this approach might work short term. TMT |

Well if it makes you feel any better its 27 here in Michigan and that's
actually warmed up since the middle of last week when nighttime lows were well below zero. Snow? Yeah we got snow too. As much as I do get tired of winter after a while, the 3 years I spent in California (Monterey area) made me rush home as soon as I could.

Conex? Old name for those shipping containers you see on the big ships, that get moved to trucks and driven all over the place. Seatrain is another term. It may be regional in usage. SeaTrain is a shippers name that specializes in this Conex is the name a lot of Nam vets use for this type of container I didn't realize that's what they were called, but I was thinking of the same thing -- getting a shipping container if I needed to store all my stuff for a while. I was even thinking of renting out a space in a parking lot in an industrial area somewhere in So Cal and setting up a blecksmiths shop out of that. It's be sort of a pain, but I could run everthing I need off an extension cord or two. The only elictrical stuff would be a drill press and lights. Everything else is propane, or meat powered. It would be sort of a pain to haul everything in and out of the container, but I could build some wheeled based for the forge, vice and anvil so it would take maybe five minutes to haul everything out and get it set up. The thing with blacksmithing is that it's kind of noisey, but because I have a regular day job I'd be working nights and weekends (mostly). |
