Big Barn’s Retirement Farm Shop

[Big Barn]

I just noticed a Cannox on FB locally for $100. Same welder just rebranded.

Several local farmers have these welders. I've welded lots with one when I worked for a farmer. They are a good welder. If you turn down the amps they will just weld a 1/8" 7018.

A lot of the farms and gas stations used to have these Forneys also.

Made in Saskatchewan and Colorado I believe.

Forgot to take some... Now trying to figure out when we can get it here before the snow.
I have a suitably cool forklift lined up already. Just waiting for its current owner to find a newer one he likes. Big old Warner and Swasey diesel with front tractor tires.

A reverse steer tractor/rough terrain forklift ,correct?

I will miss mine.. the one on the left in photo....



It's a Texas Lift made by Mastercraft in Georgia. All industrial Ford running gear and power.

It was the first one ever to be shipped into Canada at the time. (1991)

Maybe it was the ONLY one. Lol.

Yep, should be perfect for my yard. I'm going to have to try my computer rather than my phone, pictures aren't showing up for some reason...

Then I came in to make dinner and saw that someone had just listed this little Miller Thunderbolt buzz box for sale.

It was only 12 minutes away and $19 so I bought it.

All in all a pretty good day

So, you're a Hoarder. An organized, well-meaning, generous and gregarious hoarder. But a hoarder nonetheless.

Well, there are worse diagnoses.

I dunno. By definition hoarders only accumulate. I do get rid of things......

Inventory turn is important.

Maybe a "...Curator..."?

Just call the Big Barn a tool museum!

How's the High School "museum tour" shaping up?

It hasn't been discussed again.

I have been putting my new friend in touch with shop owners I know as each of his students will be seeking 70 hours of work experience starting in January.
