A little sawmill in town closed down last week and the guy had a moving sale.
Lots of vintage stationary woodworking tools, a recent import mill, and lots of old hand tools and assorted junk. Most of that stuff sadly probably didn't sell and has been scrapped, but I bought what I needed and could afford: Rockwell 11-120 11" benchtop drill press, made during 12/50 Greenerd No. 1 arbor press with some kind of odd slanted fixture/die Great big B&D Industrial 7" 15A angle grinder New-looking '70s Poulan Super 25DA chainsaw, back when they were pro tree models All for the princely sum of $100. I think I did pretty well. I actually had been looking for a decent drill press locally for years. This old Rockwell is tighter than my 2-year-old Chiwanistan model. And on the same day I got the Rockwell, I also picked up an old Dunlap (by Atlas) DP of similar size. When it rains, it pours. Partial restoration in progress with the Rockwell--pics and reports to follow. (forgive me, but I know a lot of folks like reading tool adventures) GTO(John) |
