OT- Video tour thru the jungle that is my "shop"....
Hope you got a good price for the building to make up some of the low pricing at auction of the contents. Are you committed to it 100% now? You’ve got a lot of great items there and YES at this time a May auction date looks about as bad timing as possible as far as what you get out of it.- powerglider

Investor Financing vs Bank Financing
How much are you looking to borrow? How much interest are your willing to pay? Over what period of time?

Anybody seen a motoman robot follow a cad/cam contouring type of movement sequence?
Curious about an application where a robot such as a motoman kr series could be used to contour to some pretty loose tolerance for an end result of a “sculpted” piece?

Formica laminated over polyurethane on wood
This doesn’t address/answer your original question but have you considered or would you consider powder coating the butcher block work as a finish for you? I know it sounds crazy at first, powder coating wood? But yes powder coated wood of many kinds (including some mdf) works well in some...- powerglider

Small laser for 1/4” plate possible?
Hope you have a high tolerance for noise (maybe your shop is already tone deaf with grinders goin so won’t be an added issue). Water jets are for the most part very noisy. You will end up with abrasive material that will make its way into the other areas of the shop . If you haven’t visited a...- powerglider

Looking to buy what is often termed a “patcher” or long arm sewing machine. Models such as the 29-4 or 29w series. Other brands with similar sewing machines are Adler, Claes, etc. Closer to Mediapolis Iowa the better. Would like to buy outright or if you have any interest in some machine...- powerglider
