Thread: Wadkin in the wild

No Way Jack !!
Thats is your rebound machine !
Thats got your name written all over it !!
Better hook up the trailer !

Always, Remember, these opportunities don't come up often !
When will you see another one laying in the grass like that again ?

Act now !

The smooth enabler...

Matty - look what you've done!

Doesn't Jack have one of these???

I thought - for the location/apparent condition - the price was a bit cheeky.

Mind you ...
1) If the opportunity isn't that common there ... , or
2) If doing it up and moving it on might generate funds for a more drooled-for objective.

Oh course ...
1) I don't know what piece of damn machinery Jack doesn't have yet. A spindle moulder apparently. Although I seem to recall there was one in the 'To Do' shed ... ?? might be wrong ??

Go on ... you know what you're gunna do ... tell us. Tell us!

Jack has a PK table saw, and a DR bandsaw, which will do most cutting.
But Paul, in saying that, if you recall one of your most recent posts on the Wadkin line-shaft machines found in England one of the "Foundation" machines was a Rip saw of a similar size, Jack has similar sized machines to that set up.

Well put it this way, if you lived near buy wouldn't you be hooking up the trailer like now !!?? I know I would be !!

That Beautiful beast must be saved, and Jack is the man for the Job !

P.S. Paul, I did think the price was a bit rich too, So Crunch him Jack !!!

Your the man!! it's meant for you, you know that if you dont get it, you will hate yourself for the rest of your life...

Hi Jack,
Where would you find another one like that.
I would certainly try to reduce the price, as you have to get it Home, but what a Project to get it back into top Condition.
I say " Go for It " that is, of course you have the Space to put it in.

Hi Jack,

What they all said. I know I would like to see that restoration.

Cheers,

Camoz

Damn, you're a fast one Jack...lol

I guess you could disregard the email I just sent you about that very ad...

Looks to me more like a parts machine, and I just happen to know someone who's trying to piece together a crown guard assembly...

sry... internet hiccup

I know another person in need of a genuine crown guard, Oh yes thats me. Why do I keep finding the same people discussing old iron, whens Arthur going to join in or is he a regular anyway. Go on Jack you know you want to get it.

You may just need to increase your dust extraction for this one. These saws really throw out some sawdust.I have a 24" L.S.Barker which cuts a bit over 9" deep and the sawdust is awesome when cutting full depth.

Hi JG, I guess I'm not a romantic at heart but for what it is worth I'll pass on advice that I got not infrequently from my father when he was alive. It was: " You want to get a grip on yourself boy". Hope this helps your decision making. Cheers Old Pete
