Tool Restorations #3: "BEAVER" FEVER New tool aquisitions this week..

Nice looking goodies Dave. Every guy needs some Beaver!

Sorry I couldnt resist…

The scroll saws look cool. You got enough room for all this new stuff?

Hi Shane… Well in my present shop I have no room…. BUT we just bought a new home in PEI.. that we will be moving to soon..
My dream shop will soon become a reality..LOL
I have a 24’ x 24’ Heated Shop..
If I put a bed and a shower in it.. I will never leave..:)
Why should I… I’ll certainly have lots of Beaver’s to keep me company..lol

Nice stuff. I love the band saw and the sander especially. Good job.
Those vintage tools look awesome when totally restored and shiny.

Hi Pete,
Yes.. they will look awesome when I’m done with them..
I will do a 100% restore on them… as soon as I move into my new shop..
The sander I do not have … but hopefully I can find it.. VERY VERY Rare..
I’ve found the Beaver Model 3200 TableSaw and will purchase it soon..
Then it’s just the sander and I’ll have them all..
By the way.. I’ve been to Fort Collins… many times.. Both of my daughters live in Colo. Springs..

Great tools. Especially the scroll saw…............

Hi Steve,
I am a member already on Canadian Woodworker but I don’t go on there very often.
I checked out your equipment.. quite an impressive collection..
I hope to buy the “Beaver Model 3200 TableSaw” this Saturday.
Then all I will need is the Sander and Jointer..
I found the jointer in Windsor.. but it’s too far to drive.
He offered to sell it to me for $100.00 which was an awesome deal for the 6” in MINT condition.
Oh well…
David

Wow! Some very nice vintage equipment. Awesome!

100.00 for a jointer is cheap enough, just convince the missus you need to go for a fall foliage drive and accidentally end up there.

-- A posse ad esse

I’m in the process of building a small FOUNDRY to cast the “Original LEGS, Handles” etc.. for the BEAVER tools.
I’m waiting till we make our move to Prince Edward Island and I’m in my new dream shop..:)
I’ve bought everything necessary to make it..

Cool ole tools, ya gata love it!
