What's in the mail?

Naw - not shocks. It is an expansion for a facility that processes steel coils. The addition is to house more annealing ovens - the ovens are about 6 stories tall - the building is one story but 80' tall.
 
What was supposed to be my new dust collector showed up. The box looked like it had been across the world and back. Several parts were bent and hanging out of the box on the bottom.
I already loaded it up and sent it back for a replacement.

WTH! I understand having bent corners and maybe a few tears in the cardboard but that looks like they drug it down the road behind the truck
 
They should have put it on a pallet and shipped it by truck, I'm assuming ups?
 
Got some stuff today.
These are the little plastic clips that lock the legs open or closed on a B&D workmates. I'm going to refurbish mine soon. I've had it about 30 or 40 years I think and all of the clips have broken over the years. This will be another project at some point, lol.

And got my $99 lithium batteries and charger, got the free hedge clipper on Monday. Not a bad deal. I can't believe it didn't get stolen off my porch, they didn't even put it in another box to hide what it was, shipped it just like this.I hope to try the hedge clipper out this weekend.

Got a new hitch lock for my new truck. I had to drill the old one out because I never took it off and after 3 years it corrosion welded itself together, lol. It just stops casual theft of your hitch. 20210529_181753.webp now I just need to see if the hitch is the right height, I need to hook the trailer up and see how it sits.
 
Came home from work and had a box from @Nubsnstubs Jerry waiting on me. I was only supposed to get the wrenches and the collet for my porter cable router. But you guys know how generous woodbarter members are.
Thanks so much Jerry!
Got a couple pieces of wood I can't get around here. Little block I'm pretty sure is diw, very hard and heavy. Palo verde, this should be fun, never ever worked that before.

Yep, that's Desert Ironwood. Glad you finally got it. Thanks for all those pliers and other tools you sent me over 6-7 weeks ago. .......... Jerry (in Tucson)
