Default Things I find in the Shop

New Thread everyone... a fun one I hope. If you are in your shop, your work area, wherever you work on your firearms... Look around and see if you have anything that you suddenly say... "Where the heck did THAT come from?" or... "So THAT's where its been!"...

I'm willing to start... and yes, pictures are fine.

Looking through the shop this morning for my Sig Sauer 1911 GSR case (it's going for a repair to Dave Severns tomorrow morning). The gun is, not the case. The case is just going along for the ride. Going through the boxes, and actually cleaning the closet in the process... I came across a Taurus PT92 5" SS box, with all the paperwork inside. Only problem is... I've never owned a PT92, never worked on one and haven't got a clue how it got in my shop.

How about you?
Michael

I've never found something I didn't know I had. have found plenty of things I forgot I had though.

candy bars, twinkies !!

Well this thread circling the bottom of the bowl in a hurry...

I moved an old door and a couple of boxes this last weekend, and there sits my 2Hp delta shaper and 10 ton press... I knew I had them just didn't remember pushing them back there. The problem is they're behind the stupid radial arm saw that I thought I threw out this last summer. I hate that damn thing it scares me. CRAP apparently I didn't get anything done this last summer...
