As Luck Would Have It

[Bighorn Dave]

Swung by a yard sale just for the heck of it and found an old Globe meat slicer in need of some love. I've been watching for a fair deal on one for nearly a year but didn't care to pay in the $300.00 range or higher for an old machine. This guy was really wanting to liquidate so when I asked how much and he said $30.00 you could have blown me over with a slight breeze. Yes it needs some elbow grease, probably new sharpening stones and possibly a new blade but for that price I really could not see a down side. I think if I needed to I could scape it out for parts and remain well ahead of the game. This will give me something to fiddle with when I get antsy.

Hoagy Carmichael,
That's one helluva deal!!!
Reckon I could afford to do a lil refurb, at that price point!

\\Superb Score, envious here, out on Th Plains!!

So, what’s this contraption look like? Maybe we kin even hep ya clean it. 👍

Awesome deal, Dave ... congrats!

[RonB]

Great find!

Sounds like a nice score. My SWMBO forbids any new gadgets in her kitchen. I was thinking about garage slicing, any recommendations on that?

One of the better "Car Talk" segments was when they were advising a young single guy to load up on shop tools NOW, before he gets married and it's too late.

You’ll need a very large, sharp blade to slice a garage.

Maybe you need a new Stihl! Sorry I just couldn't pass that one up. Lol.

[Fire Art]

Which begs the question Why

[Troutman]

So a Stihl in lieu of a SWMBO Skip? Oh the possibilities !! YES !!! I think you have definitely hit upon something my man !!!!

That's an idea I like. Now since I'm new here I need to figure out how to post a photo. One area I could use some advice is getting rid of some rust. Naval jelly works OK but if there is a better product let me know. Not that much rust but when I'm done I hope to have it look as new / old as I can get it.
