I'm considering buying a a 10" 5hp Delta Unisaw from a coworker who is moving. It is a USA made version, and he said he bought it probably in 1989. He's asking $800 for it including a power feeder and Delta brand dust collector. It also has a Biesmeyer fence and an extended cutting table out to...

I found this model saw for sale at a local salvage shop. They're asking $50 as is (no motor, nasty table). How does it look over all though excepting the table is pretty nasty in one spot. What would the actual value be? https://photos.app.goo.gl/unHgqgw4HEELnWNU7

I am trying to build a budget-minded woodworking shop and one of the many tools I would like to add is a bandsaw. I found an 11" bandsaw at a local second hand store for $115. It has its own stand-alone stand, motor, and belt. Is this a reasonable price? I would like to begin my woodworking...

I need to build a fruit stand to sell off my excess blueberries. I'm trying to come up with a good sales stand plan or design to use. I plan on selling pint containers (little green paper pulp containers). I'd like to see whatever you have that you use to sell your excess fruit, vegetables, or...

I'm in the process of closing on an older farmhouse. The upstairs is all knob and tube and needs to be redone. The electrician is going to redo it the whole house and aside from replacing the attic wiring, I'm looking for suggestions. I am thinking 240v in the garage, overhead lights in each...

So I waited forever and finally bought a house...with a nice garage and barn! Now I have plenty of space to store tools and work on projects, so I was planning on buying two or three of those famous $350 chests and building a work bench/work corner. Now that I've got the space, they've gone up...

I'd like to buy a new floor jack for working on my Jeeps, car, and tractor. I have been eyeing the Daytona low profile 3-ton jack from Harbor Freight and its between $110-$120 on average. https://m.harborfreight.com/3-ton-steel-heavy-duty-low-profile-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-64240.html The...

I'd like to up my storage capacity and instead of going thr usual Harbor Freight route (which is still very nice), I'm looking to build something on a budget from wither metal or wood. I'd like to have drawers for more tool storage as my Craftsman three tier set just isn't big enough and seems...

I have an extra Craftsman drill press with the center pulley for speed reduction/options. I have decided I'm not going to try to restore my second press and am going to sell it. I don't want to give it away, but don't mind selling it cheap. Its a 103 model with the rotating table.

I'm doing an 8'x10' garden shed in my back yard. I was looking at ways to reduce the cost of the shed and saw that 2x3s are roughly $0.50 per board cheaper than 2x4s. For such a small size, will I run into any issues with rigidity or strength? I'm planning on two or so windows and perhaps two...

Found this on an auction site and figured someone might be interested: http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewitem.asp?itemid=31432712 :3gears:

I found some Stanley hand planes at my local used building supply shop. They're asking $40 for the No 6 and $30 for the Millers Falls brand one (No 10 I believe). The Stanley is No 6 Type 19, so manufactured during the 60's I believe. Its not really that collectible but it is available and I am...

I'm looking for a woodworking forum similar to this one. Preferably with a large and active membership similar to this forum, and hopefully with the vBulletin formatting. :pimpflash Does anybody have a lead, know of, or frequent a forum as good as this one that is geared toward woodworking...

I'm starting to develop my tastes for what kind of wood working I would like to do and am in search of some good chisels that will run the spectrum of common sizes. I can purchase new ones from places like Grizzly Industrial but they are mostly Chinese manufacture unless I step up to expensive...

So a little while ago I made a thread about building a slab in my driveway so I can work on my Model A in the driveway or do car repairs without having to crawl around in the gravel. I hate gravel. A lot. Anyway, I had it excavated, I leveled it out and put down concrete brick pieces and nice...

I've gotten to the point where I need to buy mesh for my future pad. I'm shopping at Home Depot and they have two types. A roll that is 5' tall and 150' long for $105 and the panels that are 3'x7' for $7.20/each. I'm going to need enough to cover my 18'x25' pad. This means 19 panels ($150 after...

I have had this forklift seat for a long time, ever since I bought an old WWII Jeep someone installed it in back in 2007. I don't need it at all and am wanting to sell it, but don't know what to price it at to get it gone. I've seen brand new ones for pretty high prices on eBay, but this one is...

So last week I went to use my table saw like I had so many times. However, for some reason, it spit flames out of the cord when I plugged it into the extension cord. I replaced the switch (that was never wired in the first place) and a new grounded cord. Now, when I plugged it in it tried to...

So a Unisaw popped up locally for pretty cheap: http://m.publicsurplus.com/sms/auction/view?auc=1576377 What I'm wondering is what does the 250v mean? I've got 220v and 110v in my shop, but don't have "250v". Any info you might be able to shed on the topic? Thanks! :pimpflash

I have the opportunity to buy this for $290. Is it as functional as a modern saw? Would it be a good saw to have? Will it have shortcomings if I want to use it for more serious projects like building furniture and similar projects? I'd probably build a table around it...
