Not wanting to brag too much, but I'm pumped, so I'm going to brag a little....

So we have a big scrap metal bin behind the building at work, and I check it often to find material for my projects....anyway, the other day I found a pipe saw in a dumpster, took it home, put a new cord on it, and it worked fine. Having no use for it I decided to see what I could get for it and quickly it sold on ebay for $2,000. The saws sell new for nearly $8k. That's one heck of a profit!!!! So I decided to spoil myself and this is what I got.....

And I couldn't leave my Camaro out, so I ordered and SLP Line Lock Kit.

Used the rest of the money to pay bills and gave the leftover to my wife to buy herself something. It was a great few days. Now I just need something to do to use these new tools.

Thanks, I'm known at work as the guy who always digs through the scrap bins, I used to try to do it secretly, but now that everybody knows the stuff I find, I have competitors.

I love my air cat plenty of power and quiet as a mouse.
