Powermatic Model 90 Lathe
I recently bought my first and so far only item off of CL, a Powermatic model 90 lathe in excellent condition. The extras made the $600 deal that much better.
An even better experience than that however is a large set of Fine Woodworking mags I just bought from SMC's very own Jim Barrett. For the most part FWW caters more toward technique rather than to the 'gear-head' crowd making them somewhat timeless magazines. I get the feeling that Jim's intent was to get them into appreciative hands rather than to try to get a fair value for them. If that was in fact his goal, he has certainly achieved it with me. It also reaffirms my impression that there is generally a very nice bunch of people on this forum.
Not so much about price, but...
I bought a floor sander that's made to go under radiators, it's commonly called a Duckbill sander or something similar. Mine's made by Porter-Cable. I bought it and a Clarke EZ-8 drum sander last fall from a floor place that was cutting back on equipment to save money in tough times. The manager sheepishly called me a day or two later, wanting to buy the Duckbill PC back since he had been informed by the floor sanding crew that he'd sold the wrong machine to me. Like, their best machine and not one of the more used models. Hmm, I STILL have the Duckbill sander, but DID say that I might sell it back to them once I'm done finishing all my floors.:D:D:D
