Nice save on the cabinet! Thanks also rescued this nice cabinet and some other things. No idea what to do with the chicken feeder... take up chicken ranching?!? Maybe nail it to a post for a bird feeder? Cost an arm and a leg to fill it these days the price of bird seed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,535 #55 Posted March 17, 2022 Today’s trash pick score: 20 ten pound weights… Got them before the scrappers did!!! May need to break down and add some weight to the plow tractors given the exorbitant cost of these… 2 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ifixoldjunk 778 #62 Posted March 30, 2022 Oh boy, this looks like a thread for me. I’m the king of bringing unwanted junk home😅 We got my 79 homelite super xl, which I just so happened to see poking out of a trash can. My 60s-70s Tecumseh-Eskimo ice auger, which was another roadside find. Ive also found a 70s craftsman “home tool storage” toolbox still filled with tools seconds away from the cruncher. Needless to say that’s in my garage now too. I’ll have to get pictures next time I’m outside😅 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going on second season with Dewalt’s 20 volt line - lawn mower, weed whip, chain saw, hedge trimmer… batteries fit all my power tools. Excellent stuff. But they are not “green”… plastic, toxic innards, electricity used to charge them and 95% will end up in the landfill at end of life… not to mention the point you make… millions of gas powered mowers etc. going into landfills or for scrap… not “green”… Ok.

I junked/got rid of my gas ones. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was gonna mention my Homelite too... and I believe it may be the same model as yours, and just as old! When I can't get the Stihl started I grab the Homelite... one or two pulls and off she goes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ifixoldjunk 778 #71 Posted April 20, 2022 Here’s the newest “scrap pile special” a 1940s Wilton bullet vice. It appears to of been very lightly used with no signs of abuse. I can’t imagine who in the right mind would toss such a thing. It’s sturdier than the new vices! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
