Default A Gloat, Maybe

Craigslist post: Local woodworker retiring and selling his
"shop". He had the older, made in USA, 3/4" Pony pipe clamps, with 4'
to 10' lengths pipe included. I picked up 70 for $200 ($3 each or 35
for $100). I called back, next day (yesterday), to get some/the
remaining for my nephew, but he had already sold the remaining.

This morning, a carpenter's Craigslist post, I picked up 2 sets of
scaffolds (without wheels or scaffold boards) for $200.... needed to
better work on the shop remodel - eaves, gable ends, etc.

I'm a happy camper.

a heckofadeal on the clamps. They recently cost me about $18 each to
put together, and that's cutting and threading my own pipe out of 10'
sections.
