Got drool?

Need to find my bib, hang on a second...
 
Andrew has a warehouse here in Austin, I met him on Craigslist and he invited me to come by. Yes, I was drooling all over myself. Shelf after shelf of anvils and vises along the walls and machine after machine in rows filling up the middle of the warehouse.
Really nice guy!!
 
This guy sort of redefines the term "tool collector". I am amazed!!
 
That is an obscene amount of vises. I think you could spend a day or two just going over the vises from the clamp type to that large behemoth Union Pacific one.
Anyone know the back story on how he acquired the anvils from that author?
The Bench Style Planer is super cool.
Is he in Dallas and Austin?
 
No wonder I can’t find any power hammers or steams engines. There all south in Texas. Wow

I have seen antique smaller planers in person, hand powered.
 
Funny that my oil company is Rollstone Oil out of Fitchburg Ma. The same name of the 1800's bandsaw made in Fitchburg Ma.
 
That's hoarding. He's clearly inflated the cost of anvils by shunting the market supply into his collection. The workshops of America need these tools to be liberated.
