small gloat, I guess

[Ed Moehlenpah]

I'm bartering for a few tools, here are pictures of them, the pictures aren't very good. The tools haven't been used in 5-7 years. It's a Delta 46-541 lathe (I don't know the first thing about lathes...), a DJ20, and a Delta mortiser. So far, I'm doing good, I managed to break the weld on the mobile base of the DJ20 when I took it out of my trailer

Looks like I'll be breaking out my welder.

Looks like you made a great deal!
Congrats!

What did you have to give up to get that cache of tools? I'd bet it was more than the dovetail jig

PS If this is a small gloat, I wonder what you would classify as a major gloat? This looks to be several thousand bucks worth of stuff there. I just got a new compressor and am giddy with gloat.

He scores! Nice haul, Ed. And yes, this qualifies as a MAJOR gloat...and even has the pictures to prove it.

I'm doing a bunch of labor for a lady along with some friends in exchange for the tools. Ok, I bought a bunch of material yesterday for her too. We've got two
decks to put in, plus some electrical, plumbing, etc. We're having to work around years of sprinkler pipe repairs, wierd wiring situations, sewer pipes, and all sorts of stuff we had no idea was there. After yesterday, it was occurring to me that it might be easier to have just paid for the tools. The problem is, she needs the help more than the money.

But that is a Hat Trick!!
