You are totally right. We lived in town for 12 years although we both come from farm/ranch backgrounds growing up and were used to space. But we didnt buy land and build our own shop until 6 years ago. So although at times I wish the shop were bigger I think back to when we only had a garage and...

thanks for the info sir.

Yesterday my friend called me and said his company is selling a couple items. One is a sheet metal rack for $800 and the other is a platen table for $500. You interested he asked? Because if not putting them on Facebook Marketplace. I said do no such thing Ill be there tomorrow. Ive always...

Love seeing those old pictures.

What the heck haha. No elephants here but maybe Ill train our horses to do something on it. Or maybe not..

They loaded it with a forklift and I unloaded it with this forklift at home, so really not too impressive haha.

Thats insane.

Great idea but dang trying to get a straight even cut would be a real chore. I could put it in my bandsaw as it is big enough to take it. Never have cut cast iron before. It seems like I heard one time it can gum up a blade? Maybe Im just making stuff up. No matter as I wont cut it anyway.

Thats it! I hadnt heard of Google lens until you just mentioned it so I looked it up. Gosh dang technology is crazy.

"inventory", exactly.

My wife hates when I drag things home that dont have a particular purpose, she doesnt like what she considers clutter. So its stashed out behind the shop out of sight right now. Ive been racking my brain but cant think of a use for it. I have everything I need.. for now.. but if I get rid of it...

Yes it is cast.

Ya I wondered the same thing, what its intended purpose was. It wasnt made for personnel to sit on thats for sure. Sides and top seem to be extremely flat. No dings or scratches anywhere, wasnt beat up.

I picked up this table last week for $50. I have no idea what to do with it but I couldnt pass it up for that price. I havent weighed it yet but its freaking heavy. It is 12' long, 15" wide and the legs are 1" thick which is the thinnest part of the whole thing. What uses would you guys put...

I had a Jet 1018 but sold it about 2 years ago when I replaced it with another saw. My jet 1018 was on casters and it was totally fine. Did great. Casters were kind of worn though so it didnt move real easy. It was a great saw though.
