one man's trash is another man's treasure


2 years ago in Birmingham, Alabama during Sloss' National Conference on Cast Iron Art, i found this case, among a pallet full of them that someone had donated to be given away. they seem to be cases used for knee-replacement kits. they had little separators and holders riveted into the bottom of the case to hold whatever drill, or hammer or tool filled that spot. pretty cool, but i took out the rivets and re-riveted them so it could hold my angle grinder and accessories. it works pretty well!


by the way, that angle grinder was one of two i dug out of the trash a year ago. all i did was replace the brushes on this one with other grinder's brushes and put an extra plug on it. and now i have my own 4 1/2" angle grinder. [for free]
