I want this.

[God mode restorations]

Doing my evening browse on eBay. And found this monster. And I want it. According to the advert it's best part of 12 ft tall. Makes mine look small.

 

[Ruffian]

Just buy it!!!

Wow

believe me mate you don't want that...just the logistics of moving it scares me and there's nothing you can do with it except drill 25mm holes into 1/2 inch plate

Hope you have a big stair-well.

You'll need one hulla tub for the citric acid!

What you need is help, before your obsession is too far gone. Seriously though Spence', I'd concentrate on getting what you already have up & running & used before towing owt else home. Saves getting caught in a vicious cycle.

Behave yourself Matt, there is a time and place to be sensible. This is not it

I hear you Matt. And I agree. I am flat out with my projects at the moment. But it is a tidy item. And a nice challenge. But I will resist temptation

There's one rather similar, perhaps a bit smaller, just down the road from me... Scotland's last wheelwright has his workshop a few miles away. Still makes horse drawn carriages and the wheels the old-fashioned way; his workshop is a sight to behold.

You have a severe case of oldtoolitis. It’s not good news.

It's definitely sexy, but I can fair envisage how big just the table is, ne'er mind owt else. Every individual piece of that is a minimum, hard, two man lift.

I get emails about tool size all the time, size isn't everything spence just let it go.

My drill is next one the list once the shaper is done. But that other drill is a monster.

That'll be fun to do. Mine's still a pile of bits. Bloody heavy too. Can remember how long I had it laid on the floor before I could manage to lift it upright, on my tod. Even had to remove the counterweight in the column to be able to heft it up.
