    Some Good News

    Well, I did acquire the Delta UniSaw and I have what I hope is very good news. I am close to making a deal on an old Oliver band saw. It is HUGE. We dont know anything about it, only that it has just been sitting for years. It all appears to be there. I am trading some labor for it. I found some plates on it with some numbers

    Oliver
    Machine Number 116-D
    Serial 53858

    There is a metal tag above it that interesting enough reads "Property of Defense Plant Corp". I did not see a date on the machine. The bandsaw wheels are HUGE. I should have run a tape measure over the table but I can do that on the morrow.

    I went to Cleveland Texas today to buy 1650 board feet of Cyprus for some siding one of Freds customers want. That ole boy has tons of Aromatic Cedar. I think I may buy some on my next trip up there.

    I just saw some aromatic cedar in Cleveland yesterday. It was really nice. The guy there is named Bobby. Best I can tell he dont do online. His place is called ARC something or other. I will get his number and address for you. He had some old woodworking machines himself. Decent shop. He also has a country type store front that he sells stuff out of but I didnt go into his store. I just loaded Cyprus on the trailer and left.

    That bandsaw has 36" wheels (i.e. HUGE): http://vintagemachinery.org/photoind....aspx?id=11334
