I robbed a woodshop - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Rivari · 03-18-2007, 03:10 AM

Well I didn't really rob it but I sure got a heck of a deal. A fella in anchorage was unloading his entire woodshop and I scored a Delta 12" lathe (36" center),a boat load of sandpaper (CASES OF IT), jigs, and a custom made bench that is absolutely awesome...all for $410.00. Man I am jazzed as I have been searaching craigslist for a lather for sometime now. I also scored an Badger airbrush compresser for a whopping $5. He had so much stuff but I was quickly running out of dollars. Here are some "proof/bragging" pics, now I just need some lathe tools.

Oh yeah Todd, I think I see some dirt on your shop floor,

Wow, that bench is excellent. I keep debating with myself about buying a lathe, some day maybe. Nice score Todd.

that's it....you just had to get the scroll saw in the picture too....that G-4 sure would look good in my shop...it's a good thing I don't have room for a lathe...

Now Trout, if you take the prop off the motor on the boat and attach another end you will have a lathe, Hillbilly Style, hehe... Steve

I don't know how you keep the books dust free on the shelf next to that G4!!
Is that a planer on the right side? Looks like a nice one. That will be my next purchase when I find a bargain and after I've paid off the DeWalt.

Okay, okay, okay, yes I keep a clean shop I suffer from OCD compounded by ADHD which means I am obsessive about cleaning but I forget where I put things after I clean...lol. I do have help with the shop cleaning, my little people get in there and go nuts with a shop vac.

Trout I did shoot from that angle just to make those non-Hawk owners drool a wee bit.

Dragon them books are dust free because I use them, I have another good book that is dust free but I won't mention the name of it as it may create some angst.

Yeah I'm tickled senseless and can't wait to making some larger forms of sawsdust. The guy I bought this from was a really neat old duffer, I would have been blessed more if I could ave borrowed his wisdon for a week or two, he had an incredible shop and the projects he had laying around were unreal.

Now that is a G L O A T !!!!!

Harbor Freight has a cheap, but decent set of starter spindle tools for about $35. Don't be fooled by their $15 set..... Benjamin's Best bowl gouges are decent for a starter as well - you "need" a 3/8 or 1/2". Also, pick up a 1" round nosed scraper. Oh, and you now need a slow speed grinder to sharpen them, if you don't already have one.......

Man, that is great. Anchorage School Disctrict has "Spring Break" next week, I'm off Monday - Thursday..........hint, hint.....hint......could bring sharpened lathe chisels and a 7 y.o.........

Excellent Todd!!!! In no time you'll be making stuff like these.....

And I bet I have a dog eared, dust free copy of that book too!
