I searched for a site like this for a long time

gene,

I posted this same site in a forum almost 2 years ago, http://lumberjocks.com/topics/1233 I keep my eye on it to see if anything comes up of interest in my neck of the woods also….

Gene,

Have you checked out Industrial recovery services http://www.irsauctions.com/ or http://Exfactory.com .

These are the sites I keep my eye for tools. They both are national auction houses so you have to be wary of location, but you can get a decent deal on shipping through http://freightquote.com (its like travelocity for freight)

In San Diego auction closing in 36 hrs is two delta table saws 3 phase 220 volts and a Yates American spindle sander. all in the $100.00 range

And in Michigan a whole school shop (all tools) 20 planer 12” jointer edge sander. They are doing construction so all tools are going. current bids $50.00

Great web site. Now you are getting me into trouble my friend. Big Trouble. God Bless.

Thank for contributing to my affliction Gene…Blkcherry

An auction having old woodworking tools for sale is all well and good, but it would take a lot of time to get some of those machines in good working order. And besides, where would a guy find replacement parts for those items that were missing?

I would like to purchase a bandsaw, and a better jointer – but it seems like a daunting prospect to refurbish old equipment. I admire those who rebuild old equipment, but do not know if I would like to do it myself.

Thanks for the link. Some very interesting stuff there.
