Plus a jointer and bandsaw.
cheers

I got the hook up!!

My dad had one of these when I was a kid and I used it more than him.
There is NOTHING it can't do and there is every attachment under the sun for it..

I have all the tools that this machine has but they quickly went down the crapper as I use mostly hardwoods and they just couldn't take it.
This machine is tougher than nails and the ones made in the 70's are still around and running strong..

Sorry to ramble but I'm excited. bounce

Will do!!
You think I'm a lucky dog now? Wait till you hear what I paid for it..LOL
First off this one is used but not much. I was going to wait till Saturday to go get it but the guy told me there was 5 other people that was going to come look at it this weekend. So Thursday at about 7pm I made a mad dash for Detroit mi. and got lost 3 times. Finally found the house at about 11 pm I told the guy that I have to work in the morning so I had to hurry an get it home. I got home at 2:30 AM and got about 2 hrs of sleep before I had to go to work. I'm so exhausted it aint funny!!
This machine is valued at about 2 thousand with the band saw and jointer used and about 5k new..

$550 folks..LOL
I guess he was hard up for money or something..

Subject: Re: Looksee what I'm getting!! Tue Mar 11, 2008 9:20 pm

Those are SO FREAKING AWSOME!!!!!! I love the jewerly chest wow nice. Hey Eric what is the guitar going to be. Could you make me one as a clock? How much do you charge? I want one of those for my son for christmas.

Subject: Re: Looksee what I'm getting!! Wed Mar 12, 2008 7:00 am

The guitar is going to be a guitar when I can fork out enough money to get the electronics and hardware for it. They are freaking expensive..
I could make a clock out of one but as for how much I would have to go ahead and make it to see. That's a good idea though, I never thought of it..
