I was in San Francisco with the family this weekend. As we walked down the last pier, where a lot of old wooden ships were moored, I noticed a door open on one of the small buildings on the pier. I looked in and started to drool. One of the three bandsaws in the shop was a huge Northfield Bandsaw, the tablesaw in middle looked to be an old Delta/Rockwell (12-14") and there was a massive Northfield jointer on the far end of the shop. Took a few pics before my wife dragged me out of there. Unfortunately the door was blocked to prevent people from coming in so the photos are a little lacking, but the workspace was great. There was also a very large planer (looked to be an old Rockwell), but my daughter accidentally deleted it.

Tablesaw and Jointer behind it (Best I could get from where I was standing)

I'm thinkin if they had the DC hooked up to the BS they wouldn't need to put that sign on the door of the BS.

I was there in April and spent about 15 minutes drooling myself...What a jointer. I spoke to one of the employees for a while, before my wife dragged me away as well. Seems this shop is awfully clean.

Great tools.
