Turning tool sales/liquidation

[Dario]

This is posted with permission from Jeff.

Due to my move to a much smaller place and other personal reasons, I am liquidating most of my big item turning stuff. I will keep my mini lathe and most penturning supplies but the big items will have to go.

I posted them at eBay and if any of you are interested, please check the auction at http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZbaby_kathryn

I am also selling some of my wood stash that comes in slabs and blocks. If you are looking for koa slab, maple burl blocks, cherry burl blocks, maple burl slabs and blocks, mesquite, TX Ebony, madrone burl blocks, manzanita root burl rounds, etc. just let me know and I'll check if I have it. All reasonable offers will be much appreciated.

Thank you and Happy New Year!!!

Sorry to hear that you have to sell some stuff, Dario! I hope you don't have to get rid of your Powermatic!

I'll go bid on that French Curve tool rest and spindle gouge!

Oops, sorry - didn't read the auction before I posted the last comment (US Bidders only)...

Hope everything works out ok for you, Dario, and best of luck with your new home and new turning philosophy!

Dario,
Sorry to hear that! You have a couple items that definitely peak my interest. Sent you a PM regarding some wood.

Andrew,

I checked and both those items will fit the USPS flat rate box so go ahead and bid if you wish. Just note that the tool rest will have to be taken out of its original box.

Oh, thanks Dario! I certainly don't mind things not in their original boxes, as they end up in the trash immediately upon opening! I'll go bid, for sure!

I am still thinking about it and hard as it is to me...I am afraid I will have to.

Dario PM sent

Wish I had the extra cash right now, I'd make the drive down for the Powermatic if you decided to sell it. Ufortunately, cash is a little short right now.

Dario,
Sorry to hear about your downsizing. I will PM you about some wood.

Nolan, Leave something for the rest of us.

Sorry to hear about the downsizing ..... thanks for letting us know.

Ohhh mannnnn Dario ... I just looked at your ebay listings. You're giving up the McNaughton coring system AND the laser hollowing setup? How well I remember the day you bought them. Too bad they won't fit my Delta 46-715.

To be honest with you, I feel a little sick seeing them listed.

 

[maxwell_smart007]

I had the same thought - shame to see Dario have to lose all his prized tools! I still remember the picture-gloat of him with the powermatic! I really hope you can figure out a way to keep that one, Dario!

Sorry to hear this Dario, I emailed you this morning

Bummer Dario. Good luck where ever you end up.

Dario,
We all go through seasons and your spring will return.
Good luck my friend.

 

[Dario]

Thanks for the good wishes guys. As Gary said, I believe we all have our springs.

Don't feel bad about the downsizing and the lathe possibly going and all the other lathe accesories that I posted on eBay. These are just material things that can be easily replaced when the opportunity arises.

Thanks (a lot) again!

I'm sorry to hear that, my friend, but you will regret selling the PM so only go there as a last resort.
