its a adiction
? I dont know what is wrong with me ,,, I have literally no room in the garage for more tools but when a goldy ,,, that I thought was a greenie because some one wanted it to be a greenie and painted it green ,,, it actually looks pretty good ,,,,,,, came up for sale close by ,,well I couldnt let it get away it needs belts but the motor runs and the bearings dont sound to bad , plans are to use the bottom half for a multi use table / spt storage and a cabinet for all the bits blades and sand paper ,, By the way hello everyone , its been a while .
