Aloha Gang, Another tool I picked up when I was going to do some wood stabilizing and some bowyer work... too many other things so this is just sitting... Hopefully someone here can use this great tool... I have listed a Wagner MMC220 Extended Range Pinless Wood Moisture Meter that I picked up and never used... Protective plastic is still on the face... This also comes with the black Pelican Case that I picked up to store the unit... Please see the pics... I also powered it up to show the display at zero and on a piece of Yew I had in the shop.... You can google this and find the specs and prices.... Here's some I found...

Aloha Gang, I have listed an ATI Professional Welding Course I purchased from AGI that includes 10 DVDs If you google "AGI ATI Professional Welding Course" you find some videos with sample clips you can watch... older gentleman in a blue shirt.... I believe knowing how to weld is a pretty handy and in some cases important thing to know how to do... fabricating or repairing tools, jigs etc.... This course will get you up to speed pretty darn quickly.... and covers the all important safety aspects as well.... This is an excellent course and while I did not send in the certification test (only a hobby guy)... it taught me quickly to gas, stick and mig weld for all my projects... (no tig machine or I would be doing that ) The instructor is a professional in the industry... not just a teacher.... is great and easy to watch and follow... This over 21 hour course covers in detail... History and Safety - 3 hours 22 mins Gas Welding - 3 hours 56 mins Cutting - 2 hours 25 mins Mig Fluxcore - 2 hours 27 mins Stick Welding - Welding Joints - 3 hours 13 mins Tig Welding - 1 hour 24 mins Tig Welding Small Parts - 1 hour 4 mins Welding Symbols - The Welding Shop - 1 hour 9 mins Welding Projects I - 1 hour 45 mins Welding Projects II - 1 hour 30 mins I paid $997 which was a discounted price a few years ago... plus shipping so a bit over $1000.00 Picture is included of the invoice.... This complete 10 dvd course is no longer available which is too bad... there are online courses but if you are like me... you like to own the actual physical dvds and not have to rely on getting online with all the glitches and problems with the web and websites at times... Save yourself a bunch of money and teach yourself all the disciplines in welding with your own library that you can go back to over and over again to refine your skills... Please note that I have viewed all these DVDs more than once to make sure they are all in good order and have carefully stored them in their protective sleeves in the binder after each viewing... $GONE shipped Priority Insured with Tracking to the USA only... Thanks for looking.... Have a safe and great Thanksgiving all! Take Care and God Bless, Craig

Aloha Gang, Here is my last offering of this great set up.... As I've stated before in my previous listing, I've gotten a couple inquiries of this from folks who want the extra protection or their loved ones want it for them.... so I thought I would list this without the battery and air flow meter... (sorry I don't have any more of those available) I have included 3 extra tyvek hoods and 2 of the butyl rubber hoods as well for either use or easy modification like I have with my Uvex Bionic full face protector.... This is a 3M Breathe Easy PAPR bundle that includes the following... You can google this system and find that it is one of the best systems out there to protect your lungs on the job or at home doing your hobbies... A variety of cartridges are available all the way up to bio/chem grades.... A PAPR is great especially when it's hot and humid.... like its been here.... Everything is unused... except for the charger only for testing and the motor has been run only for testing as well... Also had a question on this particular charger as opposed to the smaller one available... my understanding is that the smaller plug in version has to be unplugged once the battery is charged... and that this smart charger will maintain the battery and that the battery can remain plugged into it until you use it.... Includes below... 3M Breathe Easy Turbo Powered Air Purifying Respirator Unit (find it online for over $400) 3M Breathe Easy Smart Battery Charger (find it online for around $200) 3M Breathe Easy Tube (find it online for $100) Three 3M Breathe Easy Tyvek Hoods (Each are around $30) Two 3M Breathe Easy (Each are around $30) Also tossing in a couple butyl hose covers and 9 Cartridges... these are chem rated p100 however they are expired... You'll need a battery and the best prices for a new one is around $300 or if you check auctions... I have seen new old stock go for around $100 to $150.... it also depends on what type of battery you choose.... I will let all the items I have listed go to a new home for $GONE shipped Priority Insured with tracking to the USA ONLY..... Note this is coming in 4 boxes and over $60 is shipping alone.... Hope that helps folks on a budget protect their lungs... or a nice Christmas present for yourself Thanks for taking a look.... Have a wonderful week! Take Care and God Bless, Craig

Aloha Gang, ​I know most here rather forge (me too) and are not going to be interested in these but thought I would offer them just in case anyone wants a quick project... Making up a couple of these for Christmas and found my hidden stash of these... These have been great for fast projects... and quick gifts... Have made a bunch of them with macarta, loa etc and leather and kydex sheaths and they are all over the US now... including a bunch here in Hawaii ( several guys use them on the trail and a couple to chop up bait for fishing)... took a quick pic of one I whipped out in a hurry for a guy... with just a polished edge showing the edge heat treat, leather sheath and matching fire steel... Feedback has been terrific... great little trail, garden and fishing tool... not head heavy but folks have not been using it it for heavy chopping like a normal hatchet.... although one guy loves it for fire prep as well as food prep. These are not heat treated... they are 1/4" thick stock and you can grind the edge (convex, flat, chisel, thick and thin) or re-profile the head and handle anyway you fancy... I've done all that to suit whatever the person who received them wanted.... They are 5160 and are an oil quench steel although you can use everything from water to vegetable oil (I've done Texaco aaa, water, vegetable oil and Parks slow and fast) ... I've done these and other 5160 with just a magnet, torch and my forge as is or with clay and got great results as well as a nice HAZ or heat affected zone or hamon line when polished. Thought I would offer some up for a quick and easy project / gift (especially with the holidays coming).... $20 each plus $5 shipping Priority Mail, insured with tracking to the USA only... I've got a few more than in the picture just in case anyone is wondering.... I can fit more than one in the small flat rate box so if you buy multiples shipping will only be $5... Thanks for looking.... Have a great Friday and Weekend all! Take Care and God Bless, Craig

Thanks guys... This one is gone... I have one set like this left if anyone is interested (hose is genuine 3M and sealed in the bag but connector is slightly different)... and then that's the absolute last of my stash of this Have a great Friday and Weekend all! Take Care and God Bless, Craig

Aloha Gang, Picked these up as spares from a very talented machinist / knife maker.... They are just sitting in my shop drawer and so I figured I'd offer them up at a savings for the folks here...

It is 1/16" shy of 8" to fit between the rollers, 2" wide and has the KMG 1/4-20 6.75" center to center mounting pattern.
