    Gloat. I hope...

    Went to a tool place that was going out of business at lunch. Ended up getting a new Jet 22-44 Drum Sander for $850. I have been in the market and even a good used ones brings close to that.

    Also, that is the last significant stationary tool I will need. I may upgrade a few to larger ones later, but that does it for the big ones. I wasn't dumb though, I didn't tell my wife it was the last tool. Just in case.

    Table Saw - cabinet style
    Band Saw - 14"
    Drill Press - 17"
    Planer - 15"
    Jointer - 8"
    Combo Belt/Disc Sander - Old Rockwell
    Drum Sander - Jet 22-44
    RAS - Old Craftsmen

    I don't see a scroll saw or a lathe...

    That should make you happy you didn't tell the wife

    You do already have a DC and an overhead Air filter I am assuming?

    Good catch Dewey.

    I got a deal on Craigslist for an 22" RBI Hawk Scroll Saw for $150 earlier this year. And you're right, I don't do lathes. ...yet...

    I have a portable DC, but yearn for a real buil-in system. Maybe a clearvue system or an Oneida.

    So I guess there will always be something.... But I would really like to migrate from being a professional tool collector to a woodworker! Now that would make my wife happy.

    Oh that's easy... just crank out her requests first and you will get all the spousal woodworker (or tool collector) support you need.

    tools

    I don't see an oscillating spindle sander or an HVLP sprayer or a vacuum press. So many tools so little time.

    Basically you got a 22/44 for the cost of a 16/32. That's a great score!
