Not a huge score compared to some of you big timers out there, but I am stoked none-the-less.
I picked up a Rigid TP1300 that has had about 100 bf run through it(He gave me the stand and extra set of blades it came with) for $200...

My ShopFox 1741 8" Jointer came in from BibbTool
for $700 (Free Shipping)

and my ShopFox 1666 2 hp 220v 1550cfm DC from BibbTool for $235 plus $20 for shipping.

DC is setup and ready to go(needs a cord cap for test run). Jointer is only about half way setup.

Thanks for lookin!

Well, as soon as I can get done working on the automotive side of the garage, I will get to making some dust. I am actually making some DIY Speakers from GR-Research.com right now.... you can see some of them sitting in the background. I am also getting ready to make a new TV stand for a DLP here shortly...

And we love spending your money as much as spending our own.

Nice collection and the planer is a big gloat.

Give me a few days and I'll be gloating about a Domino.

Great tools and fantastic prices!! Nice gloat, but I don't think you can officially gloat about the planer 'cause I don't see any pictures of it! :D(must be hidin' behind that aircraft carrier of a jointer :eek: )

Great tools. How is Bibb tool to deal with? Sometimes they have the best prices but I have not heard much about them.

Justin, Did you buy your Ridgid planer from a guy named Don?

Robert- BibbTool was great to deal with. I talked to Wes himself(the owner) and he even tied the DC to the top of the jointer to save shipping costs. The delivery company was trying to deliver it to me at the house when all that was ordered was for them to hold it at the dock. All together, I was very happy working with him. It was about a 2 week delivery time, which I thought was pretty good.

Mike - No, I bought it from a really nice guy named William...

Don - I will keep this in mind :)

How does that saying go?
Once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year, and then once a year for life...

Well, I am on day 2 now.
