Cheap old tools
I'm looking for a bunch of old hand tools to weld together into a table. Any suggestions on the best place to find some cheap? Sockets, wrenches, etc. The rustier, the better.

It's still there it's a surplus store and they have a ton of used tools among other things. Might be worth a stop justin.

Re: Cheap old tools
My dad's house. I threw away all the old tools I didn't want. It's all in the 30 yard roll off in his driveway. I'll be there tomorrow and you are welcome to come dig through it all. I'm sure you'd find all you want and then some. I can grab stuff if you can't make it but I would want you to take it all so I don't have to deal with it again.

Thanks! Where and when? I'm on kid duty, but might be able to swing by depending on timing.

It's in Wheat Ridge at about 38th and Oak st. I'll be there around 2:45 and I'll be there for a hour or 2. I'll shoot you a text with the address tomorrow afternoon.

Sounds good. I might be able to duck out of work a little early.

Oh, but so, so cool. It's not heavy, it's lowering the center of gravity. Yeah, that's it!

Re: Cheap old tools
I found a photo of the car but not the floor. I'm 90% sure I have one. I need to dig through some boxes and find my thumb drive of photos from that trip
