I scrap Wed, Fri, and Sun. I open my welding shop all other days except Sat. On my way to work Mon and Thurs, I haul a load across the scale. Today, a scrapping day, I was just down the road from my house cleaning out a neighbors yard and what does he give me? A 40 year old, 230 amp, craftsman stick welder. I have been meaning to get a dedicated buzz box. This one appears to have less than 10hrs use.
Tomorrow it goes with me to the shop. I am not going to complain if I get swamped and don't get to clean it up and test it, but I doubt I will get any sleep this weekend if that happens.
This guy's yard is a cornucopia of junk. He has been gathering it with his wife for 20 years. They're not as bad as the hoarders on A&E, but they are on the edge. Now that he is 60, he wants it all gone. There's even a '46 Plymouth. I just need to keep my head about myself and not keep a pile of this for myself. It's a job and I already have projects in the works. No need adding to the cue.
