Leigh Pro Mortice & Tennon Jig Imperial
This jig has never seen the light of day. I purchased it to do a special job for my better half then decided to move state instead.
I now no longer have a workshop to use it in.

Sorry about your workshop situation but welcome to Queensland. The place does grow on you.
I have often wondered about getting one of these jigs but never had a project that demanded it or would repay me for the very high price - hand-cut mortise and tenons being a time-consuming but less expensive option always available to me. However, I am a timber and tool hoarder so ... I guess it depends on how much you want for it ... If it is definitely, absolutely bids only then OK, I will consider making a fairly low bid. I haven't done that so far because I don't want to be insulting. So, this response is just to say "I have some interest but no driving need" if you don't get any response please PM me and let me know what you want for it. Maybe we can negotiate something?
On the other hand of course, if there are other "watchers" out there that are actually pretty keen but holding off then perhaps this will galvanise you to bid and leave me far behind. Go for it, these are quality items.

I have sent a PM enquiring whether Builderbob is willing to post totally at my expense, ie I cover cost of packaging as required, postage , and time to prepare package, transport to PO and post. Unfortunately not a lot of other options to organise shipping myself from Brisbane to Victoria.
I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.

The bid meter at the top says no bids but the bid history shows one bid. Is this the norm?
TIA

A great bit of equipment, I have one and it's a joy to use. Expensive yes, worth it yes. I can assemble my projects without glue it is so good. I have a dedicated router set up for mine and made the extension wings also. Knowing how good this rig is I would buy it in a heart beat if I did not already own one.
SBPower corrupts, absolute power means we can run a hell of alot of power tools
