Today's my day to care for Mom. Will take and post pics late this evening =

Got a new computer last week and still learning the Windows 10 format. Hav=

New project pending. Two weeks ago we closed on 3.5 acreas, with an old 50=
s-60s era house, adjacent to the farm. The old house needs repairs, pain=

, near the house, needs to be removed and hope to collect the rootball, for=
pecan table legs, as with the walnut table. Discovered a nice osage oran=

That Northfiled jointer I was looking at on the Machinery Max site... I found it via Dallas Craigslist, posted by the owner, Phil Koch. He included a phone number. http://www.pkiwood.com/ ... very nice work! I had phoned Phil and he would load for $35.
Yeah, a loader/shipper was available via Machinery Max site. So for, I've never needed that kind of service.
As for as the Inwood sale, contact them, directly, and see if they offer/have loading assistance, rather than a dedicated service, if you buy.

That's not a jointer, that's an air craft carrier. One has to wonder,
after clearing a space to put it, how are you going to get it there. :-)

Oh crap! Not 3 Unisaws, a third Unisaw. Did you wear the first two
out? :~)

I'm sure many people show up with their BIL, Bubba, and tear up
everything in site trying to load the piece. I would be willing to bet
that they want you to bring liability insurance.

That sounds like a goo deal.
Probably no chance of him "unloading" it for an additional $35. ;~)

I scan Craigslist garage sales and estate sales, looking for old chisels, mainly.
For several months, I had looked for a 16" jointer. There was a Northfield, in Dallas, that sold for $2351, this past Thursday.
http://machinerymax.com/Listing/Details/3978897/NORTHFIELD-16-JOINTER
There's another sale, in Dallas, Inwood Furniture selling off assets... 600 pics, I think. Folks, there, may find some good deals.... saws, jointers, etc., and some nice looking tools storage cabinets, also.

Brought an old Ford 501 sickle mower home last weekend from "way back
east" in central KS (around Hutchinson) to primarily use for mowing
under the cedar windbreaks...got it cobbled onto the back of the 955
utility tractor and it's going to work pretty well once get it actually
adapted to the newer 3-pt arrangements and give it a little TLC
including some new sickle sections, etc., ... But it slide right under
most of the lower branches that aren't actually in the ground as they
were--will have to do a little trimming to be able to just drive along
in the future, but it'll be a _major_ upgrade over the hand schythe or
trying to use a trimmer for keeping up around the house that typically
gets neglected for other things more pressing...
