dream, or nightmare?

A man I knew several years ago knocked on my door this week. He said he had severe illness and wanted to reduce his garage stuff.
So I went and had a look.

i bought this lot,

to give you an idea of size, the large piece of wood is 6ft long.
I believe both pieces are teak. That is still to be proven but they were stair treads from a large BT office back in the 70's, so its possible.

I got them home and loaded my bench. Everything ON the bench came out of the boxes, all bar the hegner scroll saw which was part of the deal.

Same lot from the other end

Now the sorting out begins.

That will keep you out of mischief for a while.

This lot made the first cut

Doesn't it depend on the price you paid?

 

[sunnybob]

This lot doesnt owe me anything. Basically I paid a fair price for the second hand hegner scroll saw, and the rest are freeebies.

Good haul if you ask me
Defo a dream :lol:

Keeping the bench that clean, nightmare.

 

[sunnybob]

I now have two makita edge trimmers, a bosch edge trimmer, and a black and decker edge trimmer, all in working order.
Anybody got any hedges they want trimming?
Also got a bosch planer.

Silly thing is I really dont need them, but I had to take the lot to get the hegner.

The Hegner would be worth it to save you tripping over the rest send it all to me.

 

[sunnybob]

long as you pay the shipping (g).

Nice bit of knolling there.

 

[sunnybob]

"knolling"?

Beyond my extremely limited vocabulary.

 

[NazNomad]

... the process of arranging related objects in parallel or 90-degree angles as a method of organization.

I looked it up. great word. I cant believe I hadnt heard it before.
