No you didn't, you just kept the old one going.
You have a smaller shop than mine, JOAT? Somehow I find that hard to believe.
I don't know, I didn't do the math.
Welder. Ooooooh. I want one of those.
Got a nice wire welder too, but the older kid's got it. They don't want to borrow the stick welder.
Bandsaw too. You can have my Craftsman router though. It's very difficult to adjust well, and there's a lot of slop in the collet/shaft, making it want to flex away from the work. I find it very difficult to avoid gotchas. Almost everything I've ever done has some little irregularity.
Mine lives in my router table, with a flush trim bit in it, no adjustments, has worked just fine for years.
Lathe too... Sheesh.
You probably wouldn't like it, it's from HF, and only cost about $129, about 5-6 years ago. No vibration to speak of, and works great.
Scroll saw...
Yeah, a nice little variable speed Craftsman. Clearance apparently, a few years ago, out of the store for about $35 or so. Very similar models a few days later for around $170-180. Same type of dea, and similar price, l on my bandsaw. If you're polite to the Woodworking Gods, they tend to appreciate it.
Then I flipped the track and repeated. Got down to where there's only ~1" of un-cut track in the middle. No tool I own can touch it.
You'r not thinking. I've seen track cut in half in Vietnam with two guys taking turns on a hacksaw. They were cutting on it and hadn't got too far thru when I first saw them, and were finished when I came back thru an hour or so later. Or, there's always a torch.
JOAT Let's just take it for granted you don't know what the Hell you're talking about.
