Introduction - clearing out dad's woodworking kit

[ferdinand]

Hello all

The mods have kindly agreed that I can ask the forum about, and perhaps sell, various bits of woodworking kit and other related items that I have to deal with after my dad has recently died.

We're in nearly a "nothing thrown away since 1975" situation in a large house and garden, which means that there are all sorts of wonderful discoveries, but also all sorts of bafflement.

We are in the Midlands - our nearest landmark is Junction 28 on the M1 - near Mansfield.

Dad was an architect turned small manufacturer in grp, which meant he was always making patterns from wood. He used to buy a decent quality tool when needed for a particular job if job would pay for it, and keep it for a long time.

The first item is a lightly used Elu 1751A radial arm saw vintage roughly 1995-7, which I'll post as a "for sale" item. If I get offers which seem OK, I'll be happy to sell straight off.

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Ferdinand

Don't need a radial arm saw, but watching with interest as you're only just up the road from me.

Sorry to hear about your Dad.

You aren't a million miles away - so will watch this thread with interest.

Hi Ferdinand,

Also watching with interest, as I'm just over the motorway junction in Chesterfield. I recently bought an ELU 1751 off ebay, but haven't had the opportunity to set it up yet - as my garage needs a good clearout first. They are an awsome piece of kit though.

Any chance of a list of items that you're likely to be selling?

Cheers, Dean.....
