About 3 years ago I decided I wanted to outfit my shop with vintage machines. I like to research things, so I spent months deciding what I wanted. I ended up with a 1942 Parks Planer that took me a year to rebuild, a 1948 Delta 14" band saw, and a 1956 9" DeWalt radial arm saw. Although I've got a small shop, I felt the band saw and RAS were a bit small for the projects I was working on, so I sold them. Out of frustration, I tried to sell the planer, but nobody wanted it.
So, I decide on getting a DeWalt GWI, 10" RAS - couldn't find one, and an Oliver 192 - couldn't find one of those either. I was also looking for a small Delta floor standing drill press.
All of a sudden, after years of keeping my eyes open, within a week I've found all three. The GWI (per other post) is in Maine, the drill press is in Northern Wisconsin, and the Oliver is in Southern Wisconsin.
For those of you that know the term - I got some "Ruckerin'" to do. I'll be off to Wisconsin next weekend to pick up the Oliver and the drill press. Just after Christmas it'll be off to Maine to pick up the GWI.
And so with this:

My stable is complete!
Any suggestions on how to load and transport an Oliver 192 bandsaw with a Toyota Tacoma would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John
