Found Dreaming

I've always wanted a planer, not sure why, I don't handle much rough-cut lumber. That bandsaw is awesome, totally OSHA compliant. :? :roll: We can't do anything in the US anymore.

This can be used for about anything. Future projects, cool engines you've come across or plans for an engine you plan to build. P...
