Today, I went to a yard sale that was quite interesting. The man was 70 if
he was a day, yet very sharp. I needed a pulley for my cement mixer, and he
had some, but not the one I needed.

"Wait, wait, I've got a drawer full back here." So we went back there to a
shop with at least a 75 square foot perfectly level Rockwell table saw and
all the goodies one can imagine an old cabinetmaker would have. He opened a
drawer, and selected a pulley that was right for the task. $2. Cast steel,
probably at least $20 in town 25 miles distant. So now my mixer is ready
for cement.

Out front, was a belt sander the likes of which I have never seen before.
It had been altered, and was six feet long. Mounted to a tabletop with a
fence so he could belt sand six foot lengths. Just amazing.

He had lots of other goodies, and I managed to spend $30, picking up some
actually modern usable tools, and a shifting spanner, and a Stillson wrench
in incredibly good shape with the pivotal pinned jaw.

It's nice to meet people like Cliff, and spend a little time.

Well, Your Accuracyship, the metal part was about three by four, but with
the white wings that surrounded it perfectly level, it was as large as a
very good sized bed. It could have easily held two full sheets of plywood.

Sorry I missed a nit there, Your Worship!

I wasn't slamming you. I thought it was a special purpose built saw.
There is a guy near me that dismantles barns and has a monster saw for
resawing beams from barns. Table is 10x20 foot.
