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 been considerring one of these for years however I have always been pit off by the price and other priorities.

If my wife hadnt bought me a Festool Domino this week I would have been keen also

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.

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

TIA

I think it may stay that way until/unless builderbob accepts the bid (which does not mean that it gets to the reserve or wins the auction of course). The auction can be set to automatically accept bids, or only accept them when the owner decides to do so.

i live in rockhampton and would like to put in a bid. would you post it at my expence. regards ted hussie

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.

Yes Ted I would be more than happy to.
Cheers Robert.
