pretty picture heavy so may be a bit slow on dialup. First rough "draft", but Ill add the bells and whistles and make corrections over the next couple weeks as time permits. I should have updated it a year ago..



Feel free to critique. I plan on using an editor that allows you to put the cursor over a picture and a text box pops up giving details etc.



Ill have other machines in the For Sale section as well.

"By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia', the 'security' of the nation, and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms', our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason, I believe the Second Amendment will always be important." -- Senator John F. Kennedy, (D) 1960


Gunner:

Wow. I thought I had taken my hobby bench to the extreme. You have a full shop there, nice. Hope your toe gets better.

Damn! I sure would like one of those Gorton's! Nice shop!

You might consider some overhead outlets and a air line, as you fill the walls with storage cabinets it's going to get harder to find a outlet to plug power tools into. I ended up doing the overhead power and air with cord reels and hose reels at each end of the shop.

Best Regards Tom.

I see in some of the pix that you need my: "Smoke color - speed/feed chart" it is available for $9.95 and I take Visa/MC. (How much for the doggie?)

How much for the dog? :-)

All political bullshit and other stuff aside. Nice shop. And you can't be all that bad for a cat lover. I like cats too! They remind me of my wife, a mind of their own.

Regards, Bernd

Very nice. Mostly (all?) american iron. How many square feet in the shop?

Nice shop! Show us more....

Critique? We'll, I'll take you to task over the same thing I was with my page... the pictures (as you noted) are very slow to load... over broadband with a slow computer. I can only imagine that they are excruciating over dial-up. A "front page" allowing viewers to choose which pictures to view and/or lo-res versions should speed things up drastically. Case-in-point, your "For Sale" items load last and their viewing depends on the patience of the viewer.... he's not willing to wait it out and scroll to the bottom... your items are never seen.

I'll throw this out to all as a generic problem. Your items, while appealing and priced reasonably, are a gazillion miles from me. It is apparent from eBay and other sources that there is an absolute glut of desirable machine tools on the West Coast. These machines would be very salable on the East Coast, were it not for the cost of freight (and now we have astronomical fuel prices, to boot). If you fellows can figure a way to make the 3K-4K mile trip without drastically increasing the cost, you could probably turn a tidy profit.

Nice shop, but I also noticed there was no guard over the wheel on the surface grinder. I've been present when one or two of those have exploded, I would strongly suggest you get one for it. Lest the rest of you look like your toe.....or worse.

Ummm ... I did not notice any delay in loading. My ISP is COMCAST cable: 3 Mhz download last time I looked. Bob

Gunner? Not likely. Probably tripped avoiding a cat.

Blasphemy! The correct spelling is Shizuoka.

Nice toe, Mark.

First of all, what's up with that dog? Too many cats around?

Secondly, how about some pictures of the back forty.

Didn't see any square feet. Just one sqwooshed toe.

Hey Bernd,

I sent this to Gunner some time ago, from someplace else:

"To a dog, people are gods. To a cat, people are staff!"

Take care.

What happened? They quit making steel toed cowboy boots?

(heh, heh, heh)
