I have six, three full-size (one needs new brushes), trim, and two in
tables/lifts (one of the lifts doesn't get used anymore but given some
time I may build it into my saw table).
Changing a bit isn't a big deal but it takes time, something they
don't have a lot of between commercials. That's something I don't have
much of, either, but saving time on a bit change isn't going to help.

Well.... Back twenty, thirty years ago, when This Old House was still newish, and Norm had his furniture making show, I suspect a few of us bought woodworking tools because of watching those shows. I confess.

He's trying to rip people off. You can get it for $3245.

I'll bet there's lots of us wondering the same thing.
He does post a nice ad though. ;-)

I remember that soon after I bought my first router I was watching the
New Yankee Workshop. I was pretty pumped that I had bought a really cool
tool. Then I realized that when Norm wanted to rout a certain profile, he
didn't change router bits, he changed routers. He had a big drawer that
held at least a half dozen routers. That brought me right back down to
earth.
Now I have 3 - full size, trim and one in the router table, so I'm still
changing bits.

I think someone has been watching "Forge in Fire" and entered the
arena with high hopes and little knowledge?

Thanks for the link. My anvil is not worn out yet but it can't hurt to
have a spare around in case mine breaks when the stores are closed.

Yeah, that's what I thought. The guy probably doesn't know what he's doing or was to do. Any knowing smithy can do most any job with a much smaller anvil.

Anvils are that expensive? Link says the anvil cost $3250 new. Also odd that a business bought all of this new equipment and then did not use it. What is up with that?

Well.... Some of us were hooked twenty or thirty years before that.
