Hi, everyone.
I have not posted in quite some time, so I figured I better do so.
I've been on an woodworking-machinery and tool acquisition streak for about 7 weeks. It started with a 1984 Craftsman bandsaw, intended for rounding my bowls blanks and sguaring my spindle blanks. It's a little small for serious milling, but works fine for prepping blanks for my Jet 1220VS. Soon after getting that, I got a line on a Bett-Marr 14" bandsaw (not the 3 wheeled model). I had to have it, since it's wheel housing has Hopkins embossed on it, and that's where it lived. (I'm still working on the deal.) Then the floodgates opened up. I grabbed a 1957 Powermatic 6" joiner, a 1984 Rockwell contractor saw, a Delta blower/impeller, and a newer Craftsman bandsaw.
So I'm selling the older Craftsman, and the first place I've offered it is here on WoodCentral's Marketplace. Take a look at the offer, and tell me what you think.
Then, things really started getting serious. I'm in play for a Delta Unisaw. Not sure of it's date of manufacture, yet.
Interspersed throughout all of that, I've also got my hands on 15 Brink & Cotton 6" clamps, half a dozen Jorgenson pipe clamps, a handful of Jorgenson bar clamps, and an old Delta-Rockwell miter gauge.
It's been a busy month and a half :-)
