Nice!
About 20-odd years ago, I answered an ad for a table saw for my newly built barn/workshop. It turned out to be a pro cabinet maker who was merging his business with another shop and clearing out duplicate tools. I wound up buying his old-school Delta Unisaw and accessories (similar to the setup in the above photo). Cast iron bed, 220V motor, outfeed tables, cross cut sled, etc. It has been a dream to work with.
Good luck!
@macromeh thanks. I’m currently the high bidder on the table saw, a planer and a dust collection set up. I really want the domino but they’re asking WAY too much on their reserve.
I got the giant powermatic saw!!! On cloud nine. I also got a portable planer and some other bits. Missed out on the dust collection, standing jointer and drum sander but such is life.
@sillyheathen On Robert’s second channel for Aging Wheels he did a dust collector set up. Maybe you can get some ideas for your own custom configuration.
@Kyeh yeah. It weighs close to 700#s. And that’s just the saw. The outfeed table is another 200-300 pounds. It’s funny because that table felt light as a feather after lifting the saw. It was hilarious having a bunch of dudes who couldn’t lift the saw with the Englishman. He said just wait for her to get back and they all looked at him funny. Then they all got red in the face when I came in and we got it into the trailer. One guy said “damn dude. Your wife is hella strong! He just laughed and said “there’s a reason I married her!”
@yakkoTDI I’m probably going to go see my friends dad when I set up extraction. He actually has his set up to go into a recycle or yard waste bin. It’s kind of genius. I have a small setup but I need something a little more hefty.
@Kyeh this is why I strength train. Admittedly I haven’t been in my normal lifting routine the last few weeks. I kind of tweaked my back the other day being daft with boxes of flooring so I was a little nervous but the straps really help. Also proper technique makes a massive difference. I think most people are actually stronger than they think they are. It’s more about technique and starting somewhere you’re comfortable. It can just seem really intimidating if you’re not used to it.
@sillyheathen I agree. I’ve wrangled letterpress printing equipment and you find a a way! Although there was a time when the way meant hiring two guys with a flatbed truck that had a crane attached to it. (That was for me.)
Another time a group of us moved several presses and cabinets of type up from a semi-basement. One of the guys had a winch on his truck. It was a little scary but nobody got hurt!
@Kyeh@sillyheathen Yeah, I unloaded my Unisaw (lots-o-cast-iron) by myself. It was on a low trailer and I used a ratchet come-along attached to the roof trusses of the barn. I got it off intact, but the base did make a small gouge in the concrete floor when it came off the trailer.
@brainmist@Kyeh@sillyheathen
Congrats on your great score! I don’t know what I’m more excited about seeing, the things that you’re going to make with these new tools or your new workshop!?!
At my family’s appliance and TV business we delivered a lot of stuff to very old homes with 3rd floor apartments. There were occasions when we’d get that dreaded phone call in a soft humble voice… “Ahh we dropped the refrigerator down the stairs, from the 3rd floor.” And remember those old big and bulky console TVs, a few of those didn’t make it either.
Just because you’re big and muscular doesn’t necessarily mean you can lift heavy things.
And of course a functioning brains help!
@Kyeh@Lynnerizer@sillyheathen I literally said “oh no!” reading this. i’ve moved a few things up some stairwells, and yeah. It gets precarious.
(In my younger years it was suggested I just be handed across an open stairwell to get on the other side of s difficult couch. My friends had some very interesting and erroneous ideas regarding my physical capabilities.)
I had to move some stuff up the stairs alone (bed, dresser, desk, 5 drawer filing cabinets… I finally lined the stairs with wardrobe boxes to make a slide and pushed the stuff up the “slide”.
My unloading 55 pound boxes of food from the truck at the food bank make me sound like a wimp compared to some of the stories here.
@brainmist@sillyheathen This all sounds very familiar! (The furniture-moving strategies) @Kidsandliz, unloading 55# boxes on a regular basis is really great! I’m always amused/disgusted by people I’ve known who drive to some distant high-priced gym to work out (and then complain about being broke.)
@brainmist@Kyeh@sillyheathen I usually walk about 4 miles then too. I joke it’s my free gym when some of the guys want to take my heavy boxes away from me.
@brainmist@Kidsandliz@sillyheathen Movement that’s part of a job is so much better, I think. I have a friend who worked at the P.O. lifting heavy boxes all day and he’s a short guy but MAN, was he strong. He was part of that volunteer printing equipment moving crew.
@brainmist@sillyheathen@Wollyhop One of my summer jobs as a teen was working for a construction company. One project was remodeling the local Safeway grocery store. The store remained in business for most of the rehab, so we had to start after closing time and work until just before opening. Went along fine until we got to the butcher dept. We had to demo all the sheetrock walls for replacement, which we discovered were soaked through with years of blood. As you might imagine, the smell was beyond rank.
(Also, the supermarket restocking night crew had a pet mouse living in the grocery shelves that they fed. )
@brainmist@macromeh@Wollyhop yeah decomp is not a fun smell and frankly they must not have been very clean if it was that bad. We did all of our own butchery in the last restaurant I worked in and it was never like that. They aren’t allowed to slaughter in Safeway so decompress shouldn’t have been soaked into the wall.
@brainmist@Kyeh@macromeh@sillyheathen
Yes, Demo is very fun, BUT construction can be very satisfying. My family bought a beach house and are renovating it.
@brainmist I’ve got peach wood for days (from at least 4 trees that become a nuisance to my neighbors) - everyone on the street barbeques too… They just all use charcoal.
@brainmist@chienfou@pakopako man I love pecan wood. The farm I spent my summers on had a lane lined with pecans and oaks. It was amazing for shade in the summer and fodder in the fall.
Pecan is truly beautiful. I love the contrast that it and hickory have. The kitchen I remodeled when I lived in NE PDX was all pecan wood cabinets. It was such an amazing space. It was a real cooks kitchen. I’m going to refit this one too but it will be a few years before I can take that on.
I would love all my fallen branches to see better use. I had some beautiful Osage orange but couldn’t get anyone from the local woodturners interested.
I did manage to get them to harvest a fallen boxelder. It’d been leaning for a while, and then sat leaching for a while, so had beautiful red and black striations. One of the people who showed up to take it made me a beautiful bowl, which I cherish.
I had some big walnut and ash limbs down after the 2020 derecho (which killed my spider sanctuary), but couldn’t find anyone to plane them… Everyone was swamped with century old trees that had fallen.
@brainmist@pakopako@therealjrn we had a MASSIVE thick black walnut at our place in Portland. The Englishman wanted to cut it down and harvest it. I just had a really hard time with the idea of losing the tree. We left it so it could continue its wonderful life. A few years later I drove by only to see that the guy we’d sold it to had cut it down. Made me really sad. I wish we had harvested it because I would’ve made it into furniture etc. once it had dried. I’m just hoping it didn’t turn into firewood.
@phendrick@sillyheathen Don’t bother getting a license, Just build the ark and sail away without him. He’ll never catch you to fine you as he likely can’t swim that fast. And if you load up the ark with cats and dogs even if he catches you he’ll never manage to get on board with them guarding the rails.
@sillyheathen
first heard him years ago on a flight from Europe when seatback screens were still a thing. Immediately bought all his CDs when we got home. Love his lyrics and music style.
@chienfou thankfully I have enough floor space that it’s not a huge issue. I took the cast wings off because they almost 100lbs a piece. The outfeed table is now in a stack with some other bits. It’s just kind of a shuffle for most things at the moment. I will move the furniture for the office out of the spray room and into the office today or tomorrow. Then I can get any extraneous bits in there. I’m just ready to get it all sorted so I can get back to the making of the things.
And it’s only a dollar! Good luck!
/giphy good luck
Good luck! Soon you will be able to build that Intercontinental Avocado Thrower!!
@yakkoTDI that sounds like the best idea ever!!!
I hope the auctioneer will “do your bidding”!

Now you have to move them.

@Kyeh @sillyheathen LOL, I’m feeling a bit humble about hauling a rented100# drum sander up my narrow stairs! But we make it work!
@brainmist @sillyheathen
I’m impressed! Narrow stairs are scary!
@Kyeh @sillyheathen honestly, narrow was probably better so I could cling to the rail while hauling a 100# sander.
@Kyeh @sillyheathen Yeah, I unloaded my Unisaw (lots-o-cast-iron) by myself. It was on a low trailer and I used a ratchet come-along attached to the roof trusses of the barn. I got it off intact, but the base did make a small gouge in the concrete floor when it came off the trailer.

@sillyheathen PS I am so glad you won some of the things you wanted!!!
@Kidsandliz @sillyheathen lol, the 100# sander? Went up one step at a time.
And the buffet and sofa I moved in my lonesome went end over end.
@brainmist @sillyheathen This all sounds very familiar! (The furniture-moving strategies) @Kidsandliz, unloading 55# boxes on a regular basis is really great! I’m always amused/disgusted by people I’ve known who drive to some distant high-priced gym to work out (and then complain about being broke.)
@brainmist @sillyheathen @Lynnerizer Oh noooo!
@brainmist @Kyeh @sillyheathen I usually walk about 4 miles then too. I joke it’s my free gym when some of the guys want to take my heavy boxes away from me.
@brainmist @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @Lynnerizer that’s not a wimpy thing at all.
@brainmist @Kidsandliz @Kyeh same! I lift the heavy things so that life isn’t so challenging when those times and obstacles present.
@brainmist @Kidsandliz @sillyheathen Movement that’s part of a job is so much better, I think. I have a friend who worked at the P.O. lifting heavy boxes all day and he’s a short guy but MAN, was he strong. He was part of that volunteer printing equipment moving crew.
My favorite wood tool is a mallet.
I’m a demo man.
@Wollyhop demo is really fun. You would’ve enjoyed tearing down ye olde murder with us. I think we burned the last of it in our last bonfire.
@sillyheathen @Wollyhop demo is super satisfying but whoo, you need your demo frens to understand there will also be a rebuild phase.
@brainmist @sillyheathen @Wollyhop One of my summer jobs as a teen was working for a construction company. One project was remodeling the local Safeway grocery store.

WHAAAA?!? OMG good luck!
@brainmist OK, catching up on your wins, and congrats!!!
I have some oak and ash dropping big limbs, and wish I had someone local who’d make use of the wood.
@brainmist I’ve got peach wood for days (from at least 4 trees that become a nuisance to my neighbors) - everyone on the street barbeques too… They just all use charcoal.
@pakopako ack! But fruit wood is so good for barbeque!
I have an apple that provides me with good grilling wood. Charcoal? Not in this yard!

@brainmist @pakopako
Time to invest in a smoker. My pecans keep me in pulled pork, ribs, turkey, salmon, cream cheese, oil, and chipotles etc.
@brainmist @pakopako but fruit wood is usually so BEAUTIFUL and has such amazing grain. I would happily take everyone’s wood!
@brainmist @chienfou @pakopako man I love pecan wood. The farm I spent my summers on had a lane lined with pecans and oaks. It was amazing for shade in the summer and fodder in the fall.

@pakopako @sillyheathen @therealjrn ooof.
I’ve had a few trees I’ve been deeply attached to. Losing them is hard.
I’m from the licensing board.
I need to see your carpenter’s certificate before you start construction on that ark.
@phendrick I’ll get that for you asap!
@phendrick @sillyheathen
@phendrick hello. I’m going to need to see your licensing license.
@brainmist @phendrick
@phendrick @sillyheathen Don’t bother getting a license, Just build the ark and sail away without him. He’ll never catch you to fine you as he likely can’t swim that fast. And if you load up the ark with cats and dogs even if he catches you he’ll never manage to get on board with them guarding the rails.

I love David.

And now you’ve got to start doing all those projects you’ve got waiting around.

Hope your bounty is all safely stowed away in your desired spots.
@chienfou nothing is getting put in it’s permanent space yet. Have to get all the insulation and walls finished before that can happen.

ahh… Yeah, I get that.
Hopefully you have somewhere to store it that will make it easy to place/remove at a later date!
