Bought a 5 gallon bucket of primer/paint that was a whoops, 55 bucks. Already used the whole bucket in the barn. Need to go buy 14 20amp outlets and a light switch, still need to figure out what lights I'm putting in here.

Looking good! Your saws are going to be spoiled!

I will say this, I am not a fan of 2 in one paint, paint and primer mixed. You get a better job with first priming, then painting. It takes less product and looks and seals better.

The $10 grinder is at least 40 years old, I had it serviced and replaced the brushes. Find another one 😉🤠 The switch pulls towards itself and is not the size of the dial on the plate. See how much aluminum there is for cooling the gearbox

Picked up 2 Foley sharpeners
Foley 550.jpgFoley 308_2.jpgFoley 308.jpg
The 308 seems to be in fair to good condition, mainly needing a wheel dressing to start with, grinding wheel is just about 4 5/8" dia yet. Forward and reverse work.
The 550 isn't spinning up very fast. It was stated that they had been in storage for more than 3 years, so hopefully the motor and bushings just need some fresh oil.

I would like to gbet new belts for both of them.
Both have homemade stands, that were made for a guy that was 6'7" and liked to be right on top of what he was doing. Both will need to be height adjusted for my vertical challenged-ness. Haha.

edit: Corrected remaining wheel dia.

Cool. I thought at first that it was a Fein.
Do you have a Ursus or Zetor?

Thanks man.
I agree, but the first coat looked so good...
Then I added the second :rolleyes:. Light spot on the ceiling, totally noticeable, but I'm gonna try to let it go.
I'm trying, I really am.
Heading to a buddies tomorrow to cut all the baseboard and window trim, and another buddy/neighbor is swinging by to install the outlets and switches. Still need to make a decision on which, and how many lights I'll be using. Got a bit of cellulose installed on the ceiling today too, only spent 750 at Lowes, and I get 250 back when I return the machine lol. Got kicked pretty hard at Costco filling the tank on the excursion, 40 gallons at 3.09, I guess that's better than the 3.49 that all the other stations just went up to.

More scrap crap. I’m not sure what the wagon is. I thought it went with a pedal tractor but it’s a handle instead of a hitch. Both barrel dollies are missing a wheel but they should work for my oil dry drums. Drum pump is going to a friend shop.
