What you find in the shop

A few of us on my team just spent nine and a half hours cleaning our shop, and we found some pretty interesting items. Here's a short list.
  • One inch thick polycarbonate sheet. 3/8" is bulletproof.
  • A pneumatic valve operated via foot pedal
  • A 1-1/2" ID brass bushing
  • A pair of resistors - 2 inches in diameter
  • 3 1ft diameter timing pulleys
  • About a hundred individually packaged 80/20 brackets
  • An 80/20 door handle
  • A bag of Cheez-its dated to expire fifteen years ago.
What have you guys found in the back corners of your shops?
