What Did You Buy Today?

[Jim F]

I Google'd your model# and a few pictures showed up with an 8" disk direct drive off the motor. Also had an aluminum table with a miter gauge slot.

Just looked, Missing the disc provisions.
I'm ok with that, needs to do HSS bits.

I brought a bucket of kitty litter home...

DURN!!!!! I've had cats all my adult life, and none of them ever did this with kitty litter! Major suckage, indeed!

Picked up a pair of 4x4x6 angle blocks.

A co-worker was cleaning out his garage over the weekend and decided all of this had to go... he brought it to me. We haven't settled on a price yet, he just said 'whatever you feel comfortable with'...

I'm gonna have to buy another Vidmar cabinet, I think...

Your cat is going to be disappointed at how rough it is. But I like it.

All I ever get is the privilege of buying kitty litter.

Buying myself a Derbyshire! Any tips or cool little projects with this little guy?

Here's an idea...

If you built a watch like that you'd have the money--Daniels sold it originally for something like $20k GBP and it sold at auction a few years later for $1M.

It took Daniels a lifetime to develop the skills, however, and he did have a decent investment in tools. There's a good documentary on him you can Google.

Have fun with your Derbyshire!
