Ray's Garage Sale
If I have any tools for sale you'll find them on this page....
Dunlop 3.5" Bench Vise
This poor baby had been severely abused. Used as a welding vice, covered with spatter, no vise jaws(no screw holes or support ridge for jaws either), no base, the handle frozen in place, and the screw locked up too! A disaster...except I couldn't let it's life end like that.
I freed up the handle and the screw, made some aluminum jaws for it, tapped the cast iron to attach the aluminum jaws, ground off most of the spatter, welded on a base (no swivel), shimmed the guide bar so that it travels smooth and true, and, of course, painted it. Now it's ready for whatever lttle job you need it for. Not 'like new' by any means but still functional and a better vise than you can buy new for this price.
Garage Sale Price: $15
Tool Rack
A nice plastic tool rack about 2 feet long. Mount it to the side of your work bench and put your small tools in it. I already have one so this one can be yours...

Cutting Torch
A large old cutting torch. I can't find any name on it but everything works very well on it, feels like a high quality tool. It doesn't have a tip with it. It's a much larger torch than my Harbor Freight torch but I hooked it to my tanks and ran the gasses through it. May be antique but works fine...
Garage Sale Price: $15
Large Hydraulic Rams
For you guys building your own forging presses on a budget here's one of the most expensive parts - cheap! Here's the specs:
Overall length:_______ 30"
Cylinder length:______ 22"
Cylinder diameter:____ 5"
Ram travel:__________ 16"
Ram diameter:_______ 1.75"
Weight:_____________ 80 lbs each
I've never seen these in use but they should work fine. I have no trouble pulling the ram out and putting it back by hand (not easy though) so they are not seized up or rusted and the rod is not pitted or scored. They were salvaged from a wrecked vehicle. I will ship one of these anywhere in the 48 states for about half the price of a new one(and then you'd have to add the shipping cost to that).

Garage Sale Price: $150 each, packaging and shipping included!
