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!
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”!
Nice!

Wow! Congratulations!!!
Now you have to move them.

I love that story - and I’m SUPER impressed!

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.
