Oh Scott, thank you so much for the warning. I'm going to weigh the consequences of my envy before I check back on this thread  | |

Scott, knowing what you have in your shop, if you say that you suck, then you really must....but I need the pictures

No, sorry, uh-uh, pre-gloating like this with no other information is prohibited. I may have to withhold my "YOU SUCK" when you finally post the details as a penalty!

Well, I think that I'd better peel the onion back slowly on this one...
However, it order to help prevent some heart palpations, let me start off by saying that it's not the type of item that a typical woodworker would fawn over - in fact, it's not a woodworking tool.
However, if there are any North Carolina Woodworker members that have either a racing or automotive background, then they may be at risk of sweaty armpits, faster heartbeats, faded vision, etc. as the onion gets peeled back..
Although it is not a traditional woodworking tool, it is however, something that can be used with woodworking tools though, and may be found in some woodworking shops where folks have an eclectic background such as referenced above...
Of course, I'm excited - not only because it is now gracing my shop, but also because of the deal I got. It sells new for seven, but I got it for two... (and it's in "as-new" condition!)
I was going to sign off here, but I'll add one more clue... It's big, red, and says "Snap-On" on the front! | |

So...its a large rolling Snap-On tool cabinet. Cool. About 30 years ago I raced bicycles and was a bicycle mechanic. We became Snap-On addicts. Their tools are top notch. I still have them and they are as good as new. I only have a small tool-box from them though  .
Congrats.
Doug
P.S. No Pics didn't happen though. | |

I gotta see pictures, but if it is a big red tool box....maybe we should compare. I've got one from when I was a tech in the dealership setting, full of Snap-on stuff, now it is collecting woodworking dust...and gets used once in a blue moon.

Woodworker2000 - you guessed it! I've been watching that ad for several weeks - just couldn't justify it because I already had one just like it. However, when yesterday's posting came out I tossed the guy a lowball offer, and dang if he didn't accept it! Seems that he's moving today and either didn't have a place for it or needed the cash...
Loading and moving a 1000 lb toolbox was easy.... the toughest part was explaining the acquisition to the LOML... she didn't exactly buy my limp excuse about buying it to maybe resell!
pcooper - you bet!
Doug - we've got something in common (the addiction that is!)
sapwood - I missed the Bugatti!
Here it is. The new one is the one on the right... It's kinda hard to see because I have some other equipment in front of it, and I had to take the shot from an angle...
Man, I'm still grinning!

Evidence in hand, you have earned your "YOU SUCK"
nice box, don't know where the first one would fit in my shop.
