What goes around comes around. (A gloat)

[Mark J Bachler]

A guy that lives down the road a couple of miles from me contacted me about making some panels to cover up an exposed chimney in his kitchen. I made some nice panels with a small built-in bookcase & helped him install it. Being a neighbor I only charged him for the materials and threw in the labor.
He said that there was some woodworking stuff in the garage that had been there since he bought the place & wondered if I'd be interested in any of it. He's restoring a Mustang & needed the room. There was an older delta band saw, a bench mount drill press, and this. I offered him money for it but he wouldn't take it. He said if I could move it, it was mine. So here it is in it's new home. A Woodmaster 2675 drum sander. I had been looking for a drumsander for a while but just couldn't swing the money for one yet. Not sure what year it is but the serial number is 1769. It's in excellent condition as the pics show.

Be nice to your neighbors........

Well isn't that great!

Good to see that good deeds are rewarded!

Cheers!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Congrats Mark! No good deed goes unrewarded!

[Tom Drake]

Great gloat! I wish I could find one like that around here.

[Mark J Bachler]

He called me last night & said I forgot the box of sand paper for it.

I tore up his check for the panel materials, and he has some more favors coming.

Mark: Congratulations and an excellent gloat. Good neighbors are wonderful!

Wow Mark. Great looking sander. It almost looks like it maybe had one or two pieces of wood through it. Was wondering what had happened to you, as it seems like it's been a long time since your last post.

Wow Mark that thing looks brand new! Great score!

[Jim Hager]

I sure wish I had friends like that. What a score and all for nothing other than a few panels.:D

[Tyler Howell]

Mom use to say "no good deed goes unpunished" and I see you are suffering for your actions.
Nice score:cool:

[Bill Simmeth]

Mark, that's just a really sweeeeet story and gloat. Good for you!

[Ed Frie]

It sure sounds like you two are a couple of stand-up guys.

Also,tearing up his check for the materials was a classy thing to do.

[Frank Pellow]

It looks like a great sander Mark. Congratulations!

[Jim Becker]

Sometimes you step in it and it smells sweet! Nice one, Mark!! :D Great addition to your shop!

[Anthony Anderson]

:D :D :D Mark, You lucky dog! Your friend will finish the Mustang and take up woodworking, and when he realizes what he has given up, you are going to hear blood curdling screams coming from his house:eek:. I just wanted to warn you, so you wouldn't call the police. WOW, I still can't believe how lucky you are. Enjoy;), Regards, Bill

[Jason Tuinstra]

Mark, good for you! Man, with friends like that, who needs tool catalogs! :D

[Steve Clardy]

Fantastic!!

I prefer the phrase;
"You reap what you sow"
regardless of how its said, good deeds always get rewarded, at some point and time.

[Joe Blankshain]

Sometimes good things happen to good people. Other times it is just plain luck. Nice addition!!!

A truly worthy gloat, in both directions, I'd say! Just one human being at a time and actions like that are making this a better world to live in! :) :cool:

Hey Karl, I've been busy in the shop. I'm usually out there by 6:30 and wander back to the house around 5pm or so, eat & go to bed. New Knapp Designs is booked up through June. The walleyes have been safe this winter. I am taking the last week of May off to slay a few.

[Eric Shields]

It can't be said enough for this gloat, you SCORED!!! Congrats

[Jerry Todd]

Mark,
I have a 26" Woodmaster sander and I love it. Ir gets used a lot. If you don't have the manual you might give them a call. Mine came with roller extensions on both the front and back. You will need to hook it up with dust collection. Great score. I'm happy for you. http://www.woodmastertools.com/

Mark,
It seems that you got what you deserved. Nice story.

[Roger Los]

Great score, and it's always wonderful to hear of stuff like this.
