: Rehd,

: Thanks for the education in shop tools! I hadn't seen my dad use his
: jointer for anything other than flattening short boards, but wondered
: exactly what a shaper was. I think I'll take your advice and scoop up the
: table saw and lathe, though.

: Dean

Dean, you missed this part:

If in any kind of good condition, they would bring enough money for a new boat ( either KIT or plans and Materials )

I'd take them all and then put the Jointer nad Shaper up for adoption. On the used tool market, they may bring a good price if in any kind of usable condition.

pardon me whilst I play with some new toys here
