our office along with a 6" Delta jointer. The previous property owner used
it for junk storage and never came ans got it, so I went in and took what I
wanted before we leveled it. Not sure what condition saw is in, but I do
know one fence rail at least is bent some and the knife safety cover for the
jointer is broken. Both need stands and motors, although I did grab a big
heavy motor with pulley from same place which may have been used with these
tools. Wish I had taken the dozen or so bed frames, too! Got a nice gas
yard edger which fired right up after cleaning out gas tank and air filter.
Got a CO2 tank, too...
