Hey, don't think I don't appreciate the deal on the clamps, not to mention
the Delta 16 1/2" drill press, 1 hp Powermatic mortiser(with a full set of chisels), 6 inch Jet jointer, not to mention the forstner and boremax bits you threw in for good measure. Thanks for the great deals Frank. Those clamps are gonna come in mighty handy! Much appreciated. Thomas "FRANK LUFF" wrote in message news:gTc4f.2933$W32.2351@trnddc06...

Had all of my hand power tools, plus a small workbench, and one of my roll-around tool chests in the spare bedroom. Didn't sell anything. Everything in storage 1-1/2 years, rusting. A) K-bodies don't take up much space. Surely a closet... 2) K-bodies don't rust. Storage cost $180 per month. Geez, how much storage do you have? When I had four units going (two of them 10x20, the other two were smaller) I wasn't paying much more than that. Now that I'm down to two (the big two), I'm paying quite a bit less than that. Got it? Well, no, quite frankly. I'd have sold my Unisaw, or my DC-380, maybe even one of the kids, before I'd have sold a single K-body, especially at divorce prices...oh.

Yeh, I know how you feel. Today I sold a nice lathe with copying jig, tools, stand, and other accessories for $70. Cost over $500. I felt like crap. No wait... I bought it for $70. I feel great. Sorry... |

Don't feel sorry. It was one of the best things I ever did for my self.
Do you know why divorces are so expensive? They're worth it. I did keep a Veritas 4-1/2 smoother and Lie Nielson dovetail saw. I could pick up a couple of good panel saws, rip and cross cut, a good jack and jointer plane, maybe a scrub plane and build just about anything I want out on my patio, without all the noise and dust. Maybe I should have kept the Bessys, but newly divorced people don't think clearly. I believe it is better for someone to put them to good use than for me to hide them in a closet. You know, all of us wooddorkers are in this together. If we don't help each other who will? F. (sorry for wasting the bandwidth) "LRod" wrote in message ...
