A few weekends ago, a friend of mine and I were looking at his blasting cabinet. He had just bought some glass beads, maybe a 25 or 30 pound bag. He said the guy he bought it from stuffed it in a USPS flat rate box to ship it. Now that's ingenuity. :D Title: Re: Never know what you'll find on e-bay !?

I restore WWI and II military aircraft, so maybe this is only exciting to me ?) What type of planes have you restored? Is this for a museum, business or personal? --louis Title: Re: Never know what you'll find on e-bay !? Post by: . on March 05, 2008, 00:15:37 am Currently working on a B-26 and two SBD-5's.
It started as the restoration of a gentleman's personal collection, but has since blossomed into a small museum. Title: Re: Never know what you'll find on e-bay !? Post by: javabug on March 05, 2008, 02:43:31 am So you buying it, or what???

The Convair B-36 Peacemaker used six (yes 6!) of these 28 cylinder engines along with four (yes 4!) General Electric J-47 jet engines!! :o Talk about horsepower!!!
