a little jointer and planer gloat

[fred woltersdorf]

i saw these machines on craiglist yesterday, a 15' planer and 8" jointer and picked them up this morning. boy are these things heavy. just a little surface rust, should clean up nicely. i got the original manuals and a extra set of knives for both.

I would hate to see what you would call a BIG gloat....

That is a nice looking machine but it would take up my whole shop.

You didn't say how much you paid. I'll bet that would make all of feel real bad.

[Jim Becker]

Nice, Fred!!! Congratulations!

while it wasn't a steal i paid $1550 for both, i think it was a fair price.

I agree...fair price for excellent equipment that will last a lifetime.
