    Bidspotter Auction Sale

    Thank you. Stuff was going for next to nothing, most times they were lumping lots just to get a bid. The $25. rigging fees were crazy. Mind you if you were buying a mill or lathe, they were quite reasonable. They probably averaged them out to lower the big-ticket items. All totaled I spent $120...

    Milling machine: Albrecht chucks, Silver and Deming etc.

    My mill is #40 NMTB, so I use a Morse taper adapter. Sometimes I use a 1” Jacob’s chuck on some straight shank drills I have that are larger. Same goes for the drill press. Almost always Morse taper drills for anything over 1/2” Martin

I have 8 acres of bush, so I have all the wood I need, but I have a very short window in the winter to harvest. Have to...

    Firewood

    I have an indoor wood boiler. My buddy called and asked if I need a load of firewood, all hardwood. $350 for a tri axle 40 yard bin. All in logs. I jumped all over it. Take my money. Truck showed up last Saturday in the rain, so I had it dumped on my driveway. Logs are all covered in mud and...

    Chevalier Milling Heads X 2, Vancouver BC
