Day 6 - oh the tools!

By day 6 it was time... what was the point of a studio without the damn tools?!?  It was time to go shopping.

I always seem to have this great karma when it comes to sales. Or maybe it's just the shopping diva in me that my mother created long ago.  In any event, Sears's recon/parts section had not only marked down tools at a price break for being reconditioned, but also an additional 40% off. 

Reconditioned tools - reduces the carbon foot print.  These are tools that still have a full warranty as if they were new, but purchasing them also is "green" as it limits items that would have otherwise been added to a landfill!!!

Here are my scores:

Drill press : Reg. $169 My price $89
Combo belt/disc sander: Reg. $119 My price $55
6" Professional grade jointer: Reg. $799 My price $309
Professional grade jigsaw: Reg. $129 My price $33
2 Gal air compressor: Reg. $109 My price $ 47
Table saw: (price mistake by Sears) Reg. $289 My price $229 (NEW)

Day 6 also brought the pedestal move.  I got a hold of some pedestals from the gallery that were extras.  My idea was to cut them down and use them for tool stands.  But with the help of Michael and his truck we spend the evening moving them into my studio.



The evening brought Todd Lowe and Villians Tavern!  Yay LA Hoot!
