Guess what jumped into my van?

If it was my machine, and I could drive, Id ask Carol to swap me her time teaching for the piece of equipment.

...and I'd consider that a good swap!

Carol Reed said:

Or maybe Steve in Indiana can find me a #7 jointer plane in his every weekend auction sprint and you would swap for that.

Will put another #7 on my list for you.

Sorry about the bad karma Jim. It was a good find.

Thanks, Steve.

Carol, might be tomorrow, might be next year.

Steve/Carol:

Time is not of the essence here. If the swap comes together I can wait for you to come across a good #7 user at the right $$$.

I agree it's a shame I can't use it but I'm only doing it as a hobby and can't take over the garage. LOML's mini-van get's 1/2 and I also pull my car in when it's REALLY cold or going to snow. With adding the lathe last year and a larger bandsaw earlier this year I'm at capacity without banning my car from my half of the garage altogether.

Allen:

I have plans to make a westward journey, but not for a few years yet. I don't think Carol wants to wait till I retire for the air cleaner.

Cheers

Jim

I LOVE this family.

We have a deal!

Great deal. I will keep my nose on the ground for a #7 for Carol. Of course I need to find one for Stu too.
