We were in sunriver this past weekend, and I found a spindle sander in la pine on Craig’s list.  A 10 mile drive south and I have a great working spindle sander.Â

72
I won the bid to day on a powermatic no. 72 table saw. I’m excited about having a dedicated ripping was. The 72 has a 5 hp motor and a 12 or 14 inch blade.

RAS dust
The dust collection is set up for the radial arm saws. I have been building the shop over the last few months, and have not worked on any projects. This should change soon as I am inching to build something, with the new shop. The first thing most likely will be a new storage system for the closet in our bed room. Then maybe a bench with shoe storage for our front entryway, and there are always new ideas to turn on the lathe.

mortiser and disk sander
The mortiser and disk sander are set up. I need to sharpen and find new bits for the mortiser. The disk sander needs the dust collection hooked up. It takes 15 minutes for the disk to come to a stop. It runs very smoothly without any vibration.
