Check out this auction on eBay. It's a complete woodworking shop, filled with restored vintage power tools, mostly Delta. I know people here are more interested in automotive shops, but it's pretty impressive.

that's nicer than the our high school shop. Equipment is similar, but in much better shape. I love that radial arm saw. My dad sold his old delta radial about 15 years ago. I didn't have a place to store it and Mom wanted stuff like that gone so he wouldn't go try to use it (he was getting pretty old).

He has been trying to sell that for a long time. He wants WAY TOO much for it. It's nice stuff but way too much $$. I'm sure that the first time I saw that was over a year ago. It's been up there many times and no sale yet.

It's a very nice shop. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'm hoping mine looks this good when I'm done. It takes a lot of effort to keep things this organized, but it pays off in efficiency,

My old highschool shop literally had the same setup. Most of those tools are very familliar to me.

Impressive, however it will likely take longer than the old guy has left to sell! Few and far between are the people well heeled enough to purchase a package deal at that kind of money. He would do better to piece it out.

He would probably make more money too

No two ways about it, restored old stationary machines just drip quality. No way new from the store can compete with oldies like that!
