Of course, they throw in an industrial condo with it. Looks like a very nice shop. It is so bright and clean it hurts my eyes. |

Yep, agreed. I can't see that being used.
I don't see any marks on any of the equip. That DC seems small for the amount of piping and size I see. No marks on the floor. That doesn't look like any of the pro shops around here.

Gorgeous equipment, that looks like it's never been used. The sander station? Looks like someone ran a piece of wood against the belt and the disk just to leave some marks. But whoever built it knew what he was doing, or had some good advice. Except for the radial arm saw, of course. Tom |

It's just too clean and too pretty. Real work probably gets done somewhere else. I do like the hanging electrical outlet in one of the pictures. I'm going to have to do that in mine...

It is almost all Powermatic, typically no manufacturer makes the best of everything. I have to agree. If I was building a workshop, I'd pick and choose every piece of big iron. Of course, the shop owner may have received a very good sale price for going all Powermatic, but for me, it would have to be one heck of a deal to go that route. |

Some people just like to have everything the same color. Having the same brand can also mean better customer support, technical advice, compatibility of parts and the best discounts. In the case of this shop, my guess is the owner is very anal about everything looking the same and looking perfectly new and clean. |

That would be a good possibility too as IMHO with that much equipment 1,000 sq feet would be entirely too small for a real money making shop. And I think the last place I would put the DC is up stairs, I would not want to be lugging two bags down stairs when it filled. AND the DC is not Powermatic! Still it is a great place for some one like me! LOL Did any one see any Festool??? |

Nothing there for personal use, especially no hand tools. Yup. Some kind of demo setup. I wonder if it and the shop is worth the $175,000 (is that amount right?) that they are asking for it? Wonder if anyone is looking to buy it all? Might be interesting to watch if there's any interest. |

In the areas this place resides, the real estate is pretty pricey and that industrial condo would be a big chunk of the asking price. They make no mention of taxes and condo fees that I saw. |

I saw that and kinda laugh... In Texas that building would be a rented small business location or storage facility. We generally consider condos to be where you live, a step above an apartment. |

Watch an episode of" Million Dollar Listing" on Bravo network to see how people buy and sell apartments in NYC. Many cash deals for millions too. |

I'm thinking that either the owner is looking for an edge to move an alligator property, so he staged the shop (dust collector in the loft as far as possible from a door...?), or there's a tool dealer going in on the deal with the owner. According to the results of additional investigation by someone here, the shop was purchased by some Powermatic execs. as a gift for the Powermatic CEO. And, just to add a twist to the debacle, the CEO of Powermatic apparently is not a woodworker. So, they're trying to sell it off. |
