[ripjack13]

Meh...tool is a tool. Post up which one of either?

 

[Brink]

I keep wanting a Fluke scope meter. But $2k is a lot, and I keep having these crazy thoughts of having a huge mechanics tool sale and concentrating on woodworking.

Or one very similar .... Just trying to convince the boss I really need this and some attachments

 

[NYWoodturner]

I want one of these even though I need it like I need a pair of chicken lips sincce I have been out of electronics for a coons age.

But while we are dreaming might as well dream big. A portable WBS . . . .

I bought a 30 hp Kobota this spring. Sure is easier on the back. I love it. 1 gallon of diesel goes a long ways..............

I've been checking out metal detectors. Everything I read points me to the Garret Ace 250. I'll be getting one soon. Gary

I think a bandsaw mill is on my list and I would have one if I had more money than that other guy at the auction on Saturday.

But I herd you was in fight !

 

[Jim Beam]

Jointer. Just been putting it off.

 

[kweinert]

Bandsaw that will cut more than 3 or 4 inches.
Good drill press.
Better lathe - there's just something wrong when you can stall it out trying to rough out a blank.
Bandsaw mill - and room to put it.

One of these but I would be scared to move it let alone use it

I had two of those that were restoration projects but just never had the time. One was 13" Porter and the other was a 18" or 19" Faye and Egan. I sold the Porter and donated the Faye and Egan to guy that I know that just restored an old circle saw mill that he runs with a Minneapolis steam engine. He has a small shop of line shaft equipment that he was looking to add a big jointer to for his antique equipment demos.
