I've been collecting for my dream shop for about 6 years now. If I had bought new I would have 75K-100K tied up but in reality I have about 10K invested. I have been buying out shops and groups of tools keeping what I need and selling off the rest. Its been a lot of work and shipping and crating but in the end I have a new cast iron English Wheel from the Netherlands that you can't even buy any more, a Powermatic band saw, a Rotary 2 post lift, large compressor, 12ga Tensmith 48" finger brake, Diacro punch set, Pexto 18ga roller, Pexto 16ga sheer and all kinds of general tools.

Its all mostly in storage right now but once I finish my shop and move everything in and get working I will have my dream shop.

Ha Ha. Forgot about this thread. I'm with NONHOG...Bridgeport for me.
...with me, manual, with a few perks, would be fine.

Horizontal bandsaws are very handy...like having an extra shop hand
while you walk away!
Set in the stock, turn on the coolant...stops when done.
Had one years ago, got stolen, miss it still. Rats.

Lets see now...how many days til Christmas?
