A Coats 20-20 tire machine !! I wanted one for 20 years ,and I finally found one real cheap out in Fontana Ca. I bought it a month ago and now have it restored and ready to work.
It's a 'mid '70 model , but still works fine , I just replumbed it a little and replaced 2 hoses.

Miller and Lincoln have a sale on MIG welders till the end of the year. Thinking of upgrading to one of them and adding a spoolgun so I can weld aluminum.
 

[Mike M]

Garage door spring broke and battery in car went and roof of garage started to leak all in one week !!!!

Merry F'in Christmas to me !

Smeared tar on the roof. I don't know when I'll ever have money to fix it.
Had the door fixed and got a new battery. Had to rob money from my small getting smaller tractor fund to get these things done.

Mitre saw table. Son moved east of the Cascades and didn't have room for his zooty mitre saw, so I bought a table for it. Extendable rollers, folds up and has wheels so you can drag it around, etc.

An ESAB auto welding helmet. Not cheap, but incredible optics and very clear window when it shifts to "off". It is a bit strange looking as it has a "bubble" in the nose and mouth area that allows the welder to wear a respirator while the helmet is down. It is also very light weight, improving the comfort of using it for many hours. It is quantum leaps ahead of the quality Jackson auto helmet I bought about 20 years ago. Wife insists that I can't use it till Christmas Day.

May you all have a good Christmas!

Well, actually swmbo is getting it for me; Dewalt sds rotary hammer drill. My old HF one that I paid about 35 bucks for about 10 years ago is no longer dependable. Don't need one often, but when I do.........
 

[Stick welding]

Be careful what you ask for... you could have a bunch of old buzz boxes dropped at your door. LoL
 

[Puddles]

Already got one of those. I was hoping for something a little more advanced!
