During my free time at work, I like to check out craigslist and auction web sites to see wants available. Usually I can't take advantage of anything out there. But last week I was that there was going to be an auction of a Woodworking Shop in my area. Well this I just couldn't pass up because one of the main items was a Nova DVR XL. I knew that I wouldn't have the funds for that but I could at least pick up some accessories. Well I got there early saturday and looked around to see what was available. Along with the lathe I saw 4 supernova chucks, cole jaws, a box of tool rests, about 30 different gouges, a wolverine grinding station and a Powermatic 14" band saw w/6" riser block. My eyes just kind of glazed over looking thru the various boxes as I planned out what I would buy with my limited funds. Well auction time finally got started and they began going thru the various small items, boxes and other machinery before getting to the lathe items. When they started on the gouges, they grouped them together as one unit instead of selling them individually for one money. Well when the dust settled and my pockets were empty, and winning 4 different bids, this is what I came home with:
