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

. . . 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 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 :D

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

No Delta please.

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

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.

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).

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

I could sure get interested in saving some money on consumables.

Router bits
Saw blades
Sand-paper/belts/disc
Beer

Or those items that you would like to have a couple of, so you could have them strategically located around the shop.

R.O.S.
(Good) Tape measures
Beer

Or those items that you just never have enough of.

Clamps
Beer

Just kidding about the beer folks. I don't drink and drive and I don't opperate power tools after a beer either. But I did slice a finger open pretty badly with a tape measure once, after a few cold ones.
