Big Ol' gloat thread and a huge thanks to Bill Karow

[Blake Barr]

Well I scored a good deal last night with a 4 hour drive up to portland maine and I thought I would share. While I'm at it I'll throw in my old tool gloats from before I was on the forum :) Also I BIG thanks to Bill Karow who was so generous with his prices and tools. All of his tools are in spectacular shape. You should visit his for sale thread and pick everything up from him. http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=112835 . Thanks and good luck on the move!

So what did I get?

Delta hollow chisel mortiser, 14-651, with Chisels

10x Besy K body's 2-50", 4-30somethings and 4-24"

for the other stuff

I paid $70 for the small bs, the drill press and the sander. I've cleaned them up and rehabed them since these photos...

I paid $35 for the miter saw, it's not compound but it works like a champ

I paid $300 for this 10" jointer/planer combo...

I paid $250 for this TS3650, it was a little rusty but I fixed it in no time

I paid $300 for this 29-200 w/ a 1 1/4hp motor. It appears to have been used 2-3 times in it's whole life. I figured I paid close to full price and I have since put in a new spring, a kreg fence, a blade (3/4" timberwolf) and cleaned/tuned it up. it's a reasonable deal but not quite a gloat...

Let me be the first to throw out a "you suck". Congrats on the tools. Getting started in this hobby can be expensive. You did a great job of getting nice tools at great prices.
