I told myself I would stay off craigslist..... "your shop is complete" i said..."you don't need another restoration project" I said...but there I was, 11pm, scrolling through listings. I don't even know how I ended up on the website. One minute I was watching youtube and then I blink my eyes and all of a sudden craigslist is scrolling across my screen. I'm fairly certain there's some paranormal activity happening in my home. That's what I'm telling my wife at least.
So, what did I find? A 1950's Max Machinery "Acme Hand Saw Filer". Did I need it? No. Did I have the space for it? No. Did I have time to restore it? No. But I bought it anyway. I knew I overpaid too but "the vise alone is worth $500+" is what I told myself. So here it is...loaded up and on it's way to a new and better life. I'll be completely tearing it down to the last screw and rebuilding it. Feel free to come along for the ride and see how it turns out....
