[Mr.Gussett]

I know aot of you got tools and what nots for use in your shop to work on your rats,so lets see them![P

[Sam_Fear]

Miller 211. Gave it to myself 2-3 weeks ago.

Got a 10pc. set of pliers that are handy. I misplace them one by one every ten minutes or so then find them all setting in the same spot and start over again.

 

[Charley Davidson]

Was gonna get a HF auto darkening helmet but did some research and decided to get a better one later so I got a digital camera instead which will be great for showing off the stuff I build and for showing what I'm working on and getting help/advice on my projects, also got some steel toe boots but they are too nice to wear in the shop right now.

 

[busch]

it's not a tool but dam cool Hagler- Hearns fight was one of the best ever this will look good in the garage

 

[cantwell.colton]

.......no tools here either.........all I got for my garage was a rock[S
..really, I got a ROCK!

Now granted this is no ordinary rock...........well not to me anyways It has sentimental value. I love collecting memorabilia from my little town and have several neat items like signs etc. and even a concrete block out of the screen of the drive-in theater that closed in the the late '70s and was torn down in the early '90s. My brother-in-law stumbled upon this piece of capstone earlier this year and bought it from the guy who tore down the wall it used to sit on....a wall that I drove around within hours after getting my drivers license, a wall I drove around with every car I owned until 1979, a wall I drove around with every girl I ever dated, a wall that I drove or rode around literally thousands of times! This stone came from the brick wall that separated the "Stardust" drive-in restaurant from the main drag I would love to know just how many loops I made through that place...........bought a few burgers there too but the "cruise thru/purchase" ratio was pretty lopsided The "Stardust" closed in 1979 about two months after I got married and was torn down in about 1981, needless to say this was a very cool Christmas present[cl Just need to figure out some cool way to display it............if I thought I could burn a black mark across it without breaking it...........that would be very fitting [ddd

 

[toms26t]

Interesting, I live in a house in the "Stardust" in Superior WI. Yes it was a drive-in here.

 

[Sniper]

New compressor.

 

[Mr.Gussett]

What I got?

COOL gifts guys and the rock is cool too even though its not exclusively for your shop!I got a new Craftsman tool box full of tools from my wife a tapemeasure from my 10 yr old son and some cool shirts from my other 3 youngens.And what I bought myself I have pics of ........ I bought myself a new 37 ton log splitter and a 55 ton ironworker.One to help keep me warm in the shop and the other to use in the shop![

 

[Sam_Fear]
