verhoevenc Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 This has got to be the HUGEST score I've ever seen ANYONE get?! It's one of the OLF guys that won this, and I'm uber jealous, cause I SO would have bought that stuff!! Especially at the mere $2000 the Buy It Now was! l;hgeao ***?! Chris Quote Link to comment
Primal Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 ... *cries* Who buys all that stuff for a first build anyway?!?!?! Quote Link to comment
GuitarGuy Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Who buys all that stuff for a first build anyway?!?!?! For some reason some people feel the need to buy every specialized tool that *can* be used to do a particular job. Its funny cuz some of the best builders probably don't own half of what buddy sold there or they own them but they are tools that the builders made themselves. Like a drum sander? why would you even remotely need one of those on a first, second or even ...tenth build. Granted it does make life easier. But totally not worth the investment if you are only going to build a handfull of guitars. Case of beer + cabinet shop = Free thickness sander any time you need it. Quote Link to comment
Prostheta Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Agreed. Planer thicknesser/jointer perhaps, but drum sander thicknesser? The buyer must have all the time in the world to churn out guitars. Watch out Ken Lawrence. Somebodies got a thickness sander!! Quote Link to comment
Ben Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Wow! Whoever sold all that made a big mistake IMO. I'm sure they could have got MUCH more for it all by selling everything individually, and perhaps offering postage on some of the items. Quote Link to comment
Daniel Sorbera Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Man I wish I saw this -before- it sold I'm even close enough to go pick it up! Quote Link to comment

God.... you have NO idea how accurate that is! That how I get ALL my drum sanding and jointing done. First time I went I asked how much and he said free. But every couple times jsut bring a couple beers for the guys. Chris Quote Link to comment

That was a lot of tools for a first and only build. As far as the drum sander. That is a huge tool for acoustics. I would still think for a first build buying surfaced sets and planes would have been fine. This fella probably wanted to just dive in with the right tools, and that is what he got. That was a heck of a deal for the person that bought the lot. Peace,Rich Quote Link to comment
Guitarfrenzy Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I agree he sold quite a bit for that price. I don't know why he set his Buy It Now price so low, unless he just needed the money real bad. Actually, the best way I've found to get good tools is at property auctions. That's where I got my Woodmaster 725 Pro Pak 25" Planer/Drum Sander/Moulder, for a little over 800 dollars. It runs perfect, it's just the people was getting out of woodworking business, and retiring to travel all over the country. Now I look through the paper everyday for auctions in my area that have woodworking tools!!! There are some great deals out there, just have to find them. Oh yeah, and make sure when you do actually win an auction you have a way to haul the item home.. haha Quote Link to comment
crafty Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 You know, I was going to post something about the man's intelligience, but looking over that list again, $2,000 isn't a bad price to let all of that stuff go for. The only really expensive piece of machinery is the drum sander--everything else are just benchtop tools. He probably could have gotten more for the supply stock, but if he's moving or something then it would be worth more just to get rid of it all quickly. Quote Link to comment

verhoevenc Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 OH GOD! I SO just one upped even THIS huge score! Went down to my local Barnes and Nobles.... got Popular Science's 700 page, 2000 photo/illustration "Complete Book of Power Tools" for a mere $2.84 after discount, frequent buyer's club, including tax.... now THAT's a sweet deal! Shows tons of awesome/helpful jigs and what not for SO many tools. Chris Quote Link to comment
Daniel Sorbera Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I love my local barnes and nobels. I pretty much live there. They have a great supply of woodworking/guitar books. Quote Link to comment
