Well, if you read the last post I bought another Vintage Delta 14” Band Saw. Paid $200 but this one had the original motor and the retirement light so I though the extra was worth it. I also bought my first Shopsmith ($100) because it came with the most sought after attachments (Band Saw, Jig Saw and Jointer), it’s going to take a couple weeks but I should make a couple bucks on these. I’m hoping to be around the $2500 mark by the end of the month if everything goes to plan. after these two purchases’, I have $1400 in the pot. I didn’t get a picture of the band saw before I tore it apart but the Shopsmith is below. Keeping my eye on the big picture…

I see light at the end of the tunnel and it ain’t headlights headed in my direction either!!!
I wish I had additional shop space for a Shopsmith. I think they’re a great little piece of hardware!!!
Great progress. I want to see your new saw rippin’ & makin’ sawdust!!! Go, Go, Go, Go….......

I can definitely see the end of the tunnel, But I might have to go past the light to get to where I need to be :)
