The stars aligned for me this week. Just last week I posted here asking if you all would go for the Grizzly package or go a different route - based on cost and budget.
Someone did suggest craigslist, which I am very active in and had been searching for just the right deal.

I came across this post last week
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/tls/1042069524.html

I made an offer and the guy accepted. I am getting the machines from him tomorrow. Amazing thing is it is all the same model machines I was looking at in the first place.

I'm stoked. This is all new stuff for me, I don't have any of these tools, nor have I ever had any of these tools. I've been active in the wood hobby for just over a year now, so this is a major step for me... and though I don't have a dedicated shop, I do have the space in my garage. I'll take pics once everything is setup.

Brad -

Congratulations on your score! Maybe a lathe will show up next week. Can't wait to see the pictures when you get them set up.
