Nico, I am in a co op with 8 other woodworkers. The planer we are running is a Cresent 24" (sound familar Doug) The cresent is dated from the 30's and was rebuilt 25-30 years ago by one of the guys in my shop. The way the shop runs know is you shove a board through the planer, getting close to ...

I am looking at a Oliver 399 planer 18", it is not in the best of shape. I have a planer in my shop that works (like shit) but works. I was thinking of purchasing the Oliver and rebuilding it on my free time. The guy is asking $1000 Any thoughts about this? I have no expierence rebuilding a pla...

Is anybody familiar w/ Arboga drill presses? I believe they are for metalworking. I saw one advertised on Craigs list. I am not sure of the model number yet. The person wants $950. Any info would be great.
Thanks Kirk

One thing I am trying to do is not make a project out of this, That is one reason I am not thinking white oak. It will cost a good penny, require proper woodworking techniques etc. If I use a soft wood I can bang the bitch out in an afternoon !! :twisted: Also what is a fast and easy way to finish t...

Hello Mr. T, I hope all is well. Last week Jackie and I received the artfull home cat. and Jackie picked out your bench as some thing she liked, then we noticed it was you. I am looking to make one adirondak chair with ottoman and side table. There is a new guy at work who just started making these ...

Can someone help me !!!??
I am wondering about chairs for outside, What types of wood can I use? Do you know if aeromatic cedar works well outside?
thank you KIrk

I am trying to help a friend sell his 18" powermatic planer. It is an older type (Green paint) The planer came out of a middle school wood class about ten years ago and my friend has barely used it since he purchased it. He switched the motor to a 5 hp single phase, he still has the original mo...

Mr T,
I am interested in learning more about your DIY blade storage system, could you please go further into detail?

Also I currently do not own a stud finder, how will this impact my blade storage experience?

I just looked at the auction again and the info seys that next bid meets reserve, seller has lowered the reserve. Right now the bid is $50

This is getting interesting!!!

hey pete the tires are for sale, four of them 22.5 11R $300 still have lots of rubber The drill press does not have a crank handle, it is single phase I know this sounds petty but a crank handle can make you want to use your drill press where the other way sucks!! I did not ask about the price Do yo...

hi pete, thanks for the help. I just emailed him the questions, and yes I did ask about the tire

Why do you think it is a industrial drill press? I did not see that description.
Kirk

ooooh! Baby!!! I think we have a winner!!!
Why do you think he took a picture of it laying in a truck?!?!

Thanks Pete, I will keep an eye on it, do you have any questions I should ask him?
How about a price?

Remember it is important to "keep your pimp hand strong!"

That thing is some type of sex gadget!!!
THat is a cool drill press, not sure I would use it to its potential

Hi I want to purchase a drill press cheap. Every one always say they are cheap, they come up all the time! But when you want one they are not there!! I would like a floor drill press that works well! Does any one know of one for sale? maybe you have been wanting to sell yours for some time now and n...

Hi Pete, some guy is selling an Oliver Lathe down here for $400
model 159M six foot bed built in the 40's

Do you know how much one of these should go for? or simply put if I buy it can I sell it for more money?

Kirk

Pete,
I just looked at the before and after pics of the planer, Holy shit!!! that looks great!!.
I am assuming that it runs as nice as it looks.

How long did it take you.

Kirk

Thanks Doug, The last three coats were straight varnish and it seems to be helping. That would seem to support your theory about it being the oil. The strange thing is I would apply the Watco and wipe it down all day like you mentioned and then two days later the bumps would reappear. I am going to ...
