Saw this gem at the curb up the street...

Looks like someone’s creative mail-box. Bringing it home could be the ticket to a few years of of “all expenses paid” Federal housing.

Very weird...I had the same thought! At least about the mailbox idea. Not sure about the rest of your comment, however.

I've seen plenty of them on Craig's list. I don't think they sell very well because most people want new. After all a table saw with a cast aluminum table and lots of plastic must be better than a heavy old cast iron one.

Whats the address? The ones in my shed are lonely for another.

I brought this stuff home yesterday. I really do need to be more careful about what I wish for. I also need to work on the new me. A new me who could be OK with this kind of stuff going to the landfill.

Nice looking find, Maurice!

I do not really want some of it. Accumulating stuff can be dysfunctional. One of my clients is bringing a mid century kit house back to all original. She hired me yesterday to remove vintage items from her late Father-in-law's old house to reuse on hers. The house is full, literally, with all of the belongings of a man who lived to be 95. The trustee of the estate opened the house for 1 day, yesterday, for the heirs to get what they wanted before it will be demolished. It was a weird day.

I can only imagine what was in that house!!

At any rate, it looks like you did get a saw that might be able to be setup and either used or resold...in your "copious free time", of course. . I know I have a lot of that. Not!

It was depressing. There is still a pick up load of tools. Apparently the upright grand piano will go to the dump. It has real Ivory and Ebony. I do not know the rules for recycling Ivory.

[Jim Becker]

The ivory that exists on old pianos, etc, should be kewel to recycle...

That’s good to hear.

A couple of years ago I was driving down my street and noticed something in the grass at the curb.

On the way home I stopped, sure enough it was a 4 wheel stock feeder, with a broken casting…….Rod

My father had one but put it on an old modified treadle sowing machine base. I used it for years and it was as solid as a rock. The base with an oval table top now sits on by back porch.

I knew a guy who made a good living for 50 years using a saw like that. His tool overhead was pretty much zero.
