I really want a stock knife. I just haven't found an old one and new ones start at 150 plus shipping. For a carving tool that is a lot.

I’ve been thinking about a new and upgraded mitre saw lately. Also, a 1” belt sander for small projects. And a replacement reciprocating saw. The list seems unending. And then that just rolls right into accessories and parts. Then supplies. Chuck

I want a motorcycle lift table. But that means selling off a bunch of wood, this isn't a problem as I have more than I'll probably ever use.

Haven't used that many brain cells yet, but could easily be a shoebox. Prefer 110v as house is 80 years old and only has 3 220 circuits - all in use. But already have a big gas driven pipe welder that has 220v off it if I need it. MIG and TIG minimum. Will likely never do anything over 1\4" thick, and if I do, I've got the big rig. Was looking at some a few years ago that were American made and right up my alley with priicing, but don't remember the name of company. Any suggestions? Not too concerned with duty cycle - it won't be production use.

How about this shoe box?? :wink:

My client gave me a large box of shoes & these were in it.
She paid $950 for them & only wore them once !! :redcard:

I need a new sander for lathe work. My Harbor Freight angle drill finally quit after a dozen+ years. Tried to replace it but I need something lighter and with a cord. Most are battery now. I’m next to an outlet, don’t need the weight of a battery pack. I’m having trouble finding a good replacement. I have a Sioux angle drill but it’s too heavy and tough to control the speed and where it wants to go. I’m considering an air tool but I’ve never had any and I’m a little gun shy about it.
