Happy birthday, Mark!

Sadly, I know you are correct.

Keep it by your bedside, and tear it open if the Apocalypse or Armageddon approaches!

Happy late b-day. Here's wishing for no more fires that close.

Pretty nice find. Am I the only one old enough to remember Spiegles?

Mark

And, the Dayton catalog. Both were pre internets. [emoji849]

I had a pretty good week this week. Monday I went to see Struggle and came home with a full truckload. I had to take a couple of layers up to the attic just to see in the back of the truck.



Included in this group was a late model 7-10 and a Remington Super 75.





If anyone has a spare AF cover for the Remington please let me know.

Also on Monday, a friend sent me a link to an auction in Indiana. I started bidding without really paying attention to the details which included the auction ending on Wednesday at 5:30 PM with pick up in Indianapolis today...

Well, it worked out in any case.



Sally saw, Mall 12A, McCulloch 7-55, Disston Mercury DA 211, Mall 3E (electric), Strunk G2E (electric, Army Corp of Engineers tag), Poulan 54 w/original 31" bar, Mall 5 HP pneumatic (133 CFM @ 90 PSI), Sears David Bradley electric, and Electr O Saw electric.

Wow Mark, what a great lot to pick up there!!

I’m starting to think that this is not a 'museum' at all. Mark, as a friend, I have to tell you that you are a saw hoarder. A very classy, and meticulously organized, saw hoarder.

Philbert

P. S. nice score!

 

[heimannm]

A hoarder has piles, a collector has his items organized...O.K. I do have a couple of piles here and there but I fully intend to get them organized one day.

So a hoarder in recovery?

 

[heimannm]

I may be on the other edge of that slope.

I thought I'd better take advantage of the weather and starter moving big items from my home shop to the museum building. This was last Monday, my grandson was helping a bit. The forklift was borrowed from the contractor that built the building.

Unfortunately I broke a fitting on the surface grinder (central lubrication for the ways) and had to lift it off of the base. I was able to position my Ranger and use the "truck crane" I got from Rockcrusher402 a couple of years ago. I don't need to use it a lot, but when you need it it sure comes in handy.





I completed some work on the wiring while it was all accessible, and went ahead and connected the inverter to operate the 3 phase motor with my 1 phase electrical supply.



Now all three machines (lathe, mill/drill, and surface grinder) are fit with 3 phase motors and inverters. The grinder will always operate at 60 Hz but it is very nice be able to adjust the speed on the lathe and mill/drill and be able to reverse the drill. These inexpensive inverters are really quite convenient to use, and the removable key pad was really nice as I was able to relocate it to an easily accessible location on the front of the machine.

I have decided I must concentrate on getting things moved over to the new shop or it will never happen. Today I took the remainder of my McCulloch IPL's over to force me to start doing more work over there.

Before...



After...


There is still a little room on third shelf up.



Top shelf is pretty much open but not convenient to access so it will be for long term storage primarily.

This part of the museum introduces Millennials to what a 'library' is . . . .

Wow! That is very cool! Looks nice and tidy. Do you have more to move over?

I have all of the documentation moved over now, I am working on moving supplies, then parts, and eventually the rest of the saws. I figure it will take most of two years.

New addition this week thanks to Woodslasher. This is the third item that he has contributed.
