Thread: Anyone wish to borrow some woodworking equipment?

Howdy all,

Sorry I have been off this forum for a while... lots of personal stuff going on and trying to avoid the temptation to purchase more razor related items. That is the curse of being single... nobody to tell you how to spend your money lol.

Anyway, I have been too busy to use my woodworking gear lately, so I am happy to loan the items to any of the gang who I know. I trust you all enough to happily borrow the items and know you will look after them.

I have a band saw, scroll saw, lathe,drill press, mini bench grinder and a great belt sander from Adam.

If anyone wants to borrow anything for a few weeks to have a play or work on a project just let me know. You can even pass the items amongst yourselves, as long as I do eventually get them back when I have the time to use them again.

Hope all is well everyone... I have quite missed the banter and interaction with you all

Andrew,
I'm on the East Coast of the United States and would like to borrow a lathe. Is that going to be a problem?

No way Ed...Andrew said one could 'even be pass the item amongst ourselves'
That means the last guy with the lathe has to pay shipping, just to be fair.

You do have a point there however being the first person to request the lathe you would probably need to arrange for it to get to you, I doubt Andrew expects to deliver his own stuff to the first person that wants to use it..
And that would then mean that when the next person wants it you would also be "the last guy with the lathe" and should therefore pay shipping.

I bought a bag of old chisels last year, they are all Erik Anton Berg Eskiltuna chisels!

If you can move my stuff,anyone can borrow it

I'd love to have a quality thicknesser.
