RG    If you have any online consignment auctions near by, try looking at them for the radial arm saw you are thinking about. Most of what I am seeing here are Crapsman but any of the radial arms I do see sell for cheep. I did see one that looked like it might have been what you are looking for.

The wood shop is on hold while I mend. I'll hold off on any new stuff for a while.

Well, I sold off the band saw. Got what I paid for it. I didn't make much use of it so no harm no foul. I also put the table saw/jointer on the block. Need to trim the operation to what I actually use. I think a scroll saw might be in the future.

Sold a few houses this summer as well as the barn house.






Fun stuff.

More like bird MANSIONS....

It's pure therapy work Dom. The feel of wood, the thump of the Brad nailer, the whirle of the table saw.......sawdust......

Makes me happy.

Well I can see where yours need to be in someone's yard so everyone can see them and mine out in the woods..

Not so much that they can be seen as they can be used for what I intended. Best case is....birds nest in them and the owners appreciate them. I have an idea for a maple tree in my yard. It's pretty big. I'm thinking  I'll add bird houses till I form a colony.

Get a good birdhouse book...  They tell you house size, hole size and how high to hang them for all different species..    I have some as high as 30' and with the propper hole and floor size I have  had a bunch of different things even flying squirrels and screech owls...
And its a good time to clean the used ones out....

I do my research Dom. My goal is to build functional bird habitat. I'm on a mission.

Sold the table saw/ jointer to a guy in Arizona. He paid me additional to hold it for him while the money order clears. He's arranging shipping. Must be a collector or something. Doubled my $$ on that one.

I may just find a couple more to refurbish.

Just what I need.....another project. I decided last week that I was going to sell off my Rod lathe and building stuff. I've got enough rods for yet another lifetime and I really don't want to make a business out of that hobby. Really, I need the room in the basement for the winter time birdhouse shop. I can hand wrap anything I need to fix.

Today my son and I are adding a horseshoe court to the back yard. We messed around yesterday playing some without any pits. Had a ton of fun....and a few frosty cold ones. I've got a perfect spot for it. Tall maples to the south shade the area very nicely. It's relatively flat and out of the way. All we have to do is figure out the mid court beer stations. Can't be walking off to a table all the time

I beat him 3 out of 3. Fun stuff!
