    "Sawbucks" Bulk Buy - Other than routers

    In another post Keith posed the question,

    Are there any other items you are interested in purchasing that we could put together a "SawBucks" bulk buy?

    I have four routers and a laminate trimmer, so I'm not interested in more routers right now. But I would be interested in any of the following tools I can get at a discounted price:

    L-N planes
    Whiteside router bits
    Pneumatic Framing Nailer
    Pneumatic Roofing Nailer
    Delta DJ-20 jointer
    Delta 2-speed 13" planer
    Delta HD shaper
    Poolewood Euro 2000 long bed lathe

    I also have enough routers for now(only 3 though).

    I would be into:
    LN Planes
    LV Planes
    Record type vice
    Veritas vice
    Router Bits (CMT/Jesada/Whiteside)
    - Rabbeting set
    - lock miter
    - shaker door profile
    Maybe a PC/Delta laser CMS
    8" jointer (although probably not DJ20 ... grizz, wilke, sunhill)
    tormec
    Jay St. Peter

  3. Good idea . . .

    . . . work a deal for a bunch of L-N planes and I'm in. We all want a no. 4-1/2 of course, right?

    Though I'd never admit it to my wife, I probably need hand tools worse than I need power tools at this point. I'd go for:

    LN planes
    LV planes
    Veritas twin-screw vise
    maybe the Veritas power sharpening system, but the price would have to come down on this quite a bit to make me jump

    I second the Delta

    I will be in the market for a decent lunchbox planer very soon.
    The Delta 2 speed is probably at the top of my list followed by the Dewalt.

    Also need Router table / insert / lift
    router bits
    Decent saw blade - can't afford the Forrest so Freud or similar
    Thinking about maybe some hand carving tools

    Ok I need just about everything but the planer is at the top of the list
    God Bless America!

    Yep, put me down for any of the above preferably a 4 cutter-head model.

    No Delta please.

    Talking Good Idea

    My short list in order:
    Chainsaw (Stihl or Husky)
    Fein Turbo II
    L-N 073
    Pfeil or similar carving tools for lettering & such

    If really cheap:
    Lunchbox planer (Delta/Dewalt or similar quality/performance)

    AND...

    A Stubby (kidding, WC content...a little joke about an ongoing saga)

    I'm sure that David Ellsworth would love to get a large order for Poolewoods from the Sawbucks crowd...I know I would if I were in his position!

    Thanks for adding ln planes. Here's my list:

    L-N planes (I already have a smoothing plane)
    Small shaper
    8" jointer (the price would really have to be good)
    Jet mini lathe
    Jet mini lathe stand
    pattern maker vise
    Bessey clamps
    Project Salvager

    I'll take some of that L-N Planes action if it comes along. My shop is slowly growing in the plane area. (My wife has been dictating more quiet time)

    Jim, I'm relatively certain there will be no "large" order for Poolewoods, but I was wondering if a participant in a bulk order of say, five or six, could obtain significant savings.

    Jerry, I'll have to ask David and see if a group order might make a difference. The margins are not high after import fees and so forth, but there is no harm in asking!

    Thanks, Jim. That information would be nice to know.

    Cool LN LN LN !

    Bulk buy on LN planes would be cool! And I like the sound of that Delta 2-speed planer too (probably tougher to get a crowd on that one though).

    My $0.02

    I might be interested in a L-N bulk buy.
