ToneMonkey Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Birthdays and Christmas have been good to me when it comes to tools..... although I didn't get my £40 bandsaw when I dropped about two weeks worth of hints to the wife..... but she does say I can have a belt sander when we buy a new house.

SwedishLuthier Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I've spent too much to really know. I'm into my third of fourth hand held router, third Dremel (or is it the fourth?), I’m into my fifth and sixth power drill, the third pillar drill (this time a combined pillar drill/mill), the fourth, fifth and sixth spray gun and so on. So the value of what’s in the workshop right now is just a part of what I have spent on tools. The total amount is probably not as high as for MiKro and RestorationAD, but well over 5000$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenspoke Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Somewhere between $10 and $10,000...closer to the latter.... I hear that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Well it depnds really, So much can be built to ease a project in making. I built my CNC, Copier and Drum sander. If I were to buy them it would be at 10k in funds. I built all for under 1k, Table saw and Band Saw dremel were had prior to my addiction. The addition of files were all hand me downs from my Uncle (Rest his soul) as well as some drills and Bits. So to say the exact price would be foolish for me anyway. But like many I love machines. And what I can not afford or unwilling to pay for I make. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
