Going to an auction one day and spied this in another back yard
Smallpatch posted a topic in Old Woodworking Machinery
I bought a table drill press at auction one day while spending some time close to South Fork, Colo It was just the thing I had been looking for so I could mount it up high so my eyes were next to the small drill bits I used for drilling very small holes when I did inside scroll sawing. I wanted to see if having that drill bit up where my eyes stay most of the time I could actually see where the end of the bit would be going in to the wood and not on the lines like I did sometimes causing a little trouble making the holes disappear when finished sawing a pattern out.. Well, as I was leaving I noticed a garage sale sign next door so as I was pulling in I noticed this old lathe laying in do-do of a horse coral. I looked around for a while and couldn't see anything I was interested in and said you got anything else you want to get rid of???? He said yes I do have some stuff I had almost all my life and it just sat there in my way for I bought a new better one. I offered 20 and he said I will help you load it. . I also bought a used dust extractor sitting there under the picknick table that I only use for one of my drum sanders. Sitting in an Rv park for 3 months got a little boring so the next year I Loaded every thing it took to saw out the four jewelry boxes I glued together after getting back home. Amazing what you can do with these old machines.
