I'm trying hard to reduce the hoard from decades of abandoned hobbies. I've posted scores of CL ads for everything from a typewriter to a slot car set. Still a whole bunch to go.
Of course, while posting CL ads, I see lots of other ads that are intriguing. I stopped at one on the way home yesterday "Machine Tools For Sale".

When I took it in the house, the wife says "What are you going to do with THAT?" "I dunno yet, I thought it was cool" "Well, clean it up and a fresh coat of paint..." "No way in hell paint gets anywhere near this!"
The cats liked it though.
"Stuff multiplies in the dark in the garage like cats to fill the available space, and work expands to fill the time allotted."
A quote by me.
