Wood working tools

Post by Ernie » Fri Aug 02, 2019 9:49 pm

Got to talking to a woman tonight that I have seen around town and I mentioned that I enjoy working with wood. She told me her husband had a workshop in the basement and I could have everything if I could get it out of the basement. Hand tools, lathe, table saw, band saw, hardwood benches.....OMG. I told her I would check it out come up with a price but she insisted I could have this stuff for moving it. I need to check it out. I will make an offer if it turns out to be anything worth while, you never know until you look. TOOLS!!! Now I have the motivation to clean up my shop. :shock: :D

If it works out to be worth while, maybe there is something on or about the widow's home that you could fix or repair for her.

Not looking to take advantage of anyone, I don't roll that way. I am sure we can come to a mutually beneficial agreement if this turns out to be something I want and can use. Have to see exactly what it is and how many bodies I need to get stuff this out of a basement. Years ago after hauling several trailer loads out of my basement I vowed to never get myself into that situation again, everything that goes down must eventually come back up. My workshop is 1500 square feet of concrete slab with no steps.

Going to check this out tomorrow, not going to get my hopes up but I told her if I take anything I will take it all. This time she did not object to me telling her I would pay her what I thought it was worth. The lady said she has not been down there since her husband passed 6 years ago because it was way too spooky. It is a 170 year old house so I expect spiders, lots of spiders.

Do what you think is right Ernie. I'm sure you will do right by both of you.
Oh!...be ready for the spiders. You go in before her!😁
I feel for her and her loss.
