Daaaaaamn, son. That's a haul.
I'm only really GASing for some space in the garage for a work area, it's basically just a storage unit now.

[spacelordmother]

Gas is gas, a score is a score. Nice!

PSA

get something stronger than an 18V hand drill if you want to make your own enclosures.

[Mudfuzz]

I just pulled this out of a old box of stuff I hadn't unpacked in 7 years
Still works… need to get the rust off though.. anyway it will hold any hand drill

[morange]

Hey what bench drill press do you guys recommend?

[ryan summit]

now thats the shit mud
i never run across a decent quality one
that doesnt feel like a toy

im also interested in moranges question
right now all i know about drill presses is
old,huge, and cheap
anything real good and new seems to be so expensive
but dudes hear do alot of drilling into metal
i think i see a press in the left of mudfuzzs picture actually
lets see that badboy too muddy

[Mudfuzz]

It's a cheap old craftsman that is about to die I need a new one actually.. and in the I don't want to spend a lot on one unless I have a project to justify it.. and that's why I pulled out the other one It'll do until I get over my "I fucking burned out on using power tools" feels I'm in.. I'm sure it will pass in a few more months so yeah I need a new press [and no I'm not sure what make.. yet so thread is interesting ] and a new band saw.. I killed mine last month it wasn't pretty my issue though is I like portable tools… and finding good ones is you know… anyway pics… and before ideas cum to you guys… it's a bending pipe for acoustic building: halogen light bulb in a water pipe mooted to a block with the electronics inside

[Decibill]

That tool box with the bottle opener and beemer badge is awesome.

[jfrey]

I wish I could have all my tools with me. They're all just in storage. I don't have the room for them in my apartment, and nowhere really to setup a work space.

[PetZounds]

I live in apartment, but the lab I work with has lots of tools for me to mess with.
I'm currently pretty enamored with lathes.
We have a tiny metal lathe here at the lab, useful stuff.
My dad has one in his shop on our property at home.
It's gigantic and has a mill attachment, I love it.

Anyone here do any CNC stuff or 3D printing?

part 2 of this score

that drill press we were talkin about
fuck yah
didnt even know about this till 2 days ago

dude says hes got a "bench top" drill press too
thing is 4"tall
old Delta

plus (all belt driven)
lathe
bench grinder
30" throat scroll saw (oddly humungous)

and a 10" planer with 3 sets of brand new knives
fairly newer so it should be plug n play

theres one more part to this score(next week)
bandsaw
joiner
???

this is all coming from one family
three generations of woodworkers
granpa passed,father retired,son in law moving into shop
the real good stuff went to my friend
