    Default Retooling my shed (when I get one)

    Have an opportunity to retool after having sold everything last year - most regretfully.

    For something between $1,600 and $2,000 this is what's on the table:
    Carbatec DC 380 Planer
    Carbatec Dusty 2hp
    Carbatec KS 12KMD 12" Table saw
    Carbatec 14" Bandsaw SW1413
    Carbatec 6" Professional Jointer 1200mm bed with a dedicated Carbatec dusty
    Makita 1212 SCMS

    All well maintained and in excellent condition.

    Is this a good buy?

    Wow. IMHO it's very much worth a look for the price. Just to buy that stuff individually would cost you 3 times that. Good luck.

    Mike, he may as well throw in the shed as well

    This is becoming a ridiculously good deal. I think you deserve a Bastard call!

    Mike there is much to consider before this purchase.............hows the fishing? Hows the shoulder? Hows the wood supply?

    Gotta find a place with a shed that allows pets - dunno why people are so set against pets. Shoulders both ruined but can adapt myself and work in short shifts. The only fish around here are the fish plates under the rail track. Wood supply?? Well i'm gonna have to go out and buy some I guess but will be keeping things small and manageable.
    Cheers

    Ps I don't have a camera but will try the smartphone cam if i can figure out the stupid app that lets it talk to the PC.

    yeah, well if i had the means I'd buy his house and his enormous shed - which is right next door . Then I wouldn't have to move all my new purrr-chases.

    Cheers

    PS: My mummy and Daddy weren't wedded so already am I a bastard.... just living up to my roots....

    DING! ... Helloooo ... leave them there and rent the shed.

    If he wants the shed for a project car or a tractor - he can park 'em in your house.

    Helpful, right?
