Time to let my North Star 3 spindle duplicator find a new home.
The Campfire will not let me post any Shutterfly photos so if anyone is interested I will post a link to the description, price and a tutorial showing the duplicator use to make stocks. Send a PM.
Below photos are on Photo Bucket and load OK:
Interested. Link to pricing?
Did you have a price in mind?
Send a PM for the link with pricing.
Still for sale. Many tire kickers, two serious but no $$ yet.
Yep expensive at $10,000 but the package includes:
26 or so pattern stocks
20 or so (will have to count) figured Maple stock blanks
Several large Oregon Walnut slabs for cutting into blanks
Dozens of low figure maple banks for making pattern stocks
All blanks are fully cured, most are over 3 inches thick, allowing making stocks with considerable cast off.
Tooling for the duplicator and spare parts
Original manual for the duplicator
Checkering cradle
Stock sanding cradle with the same spindles as the duplicator
Checkering tools
Moisture meter
This is a heavy duty machine suitable for production stock making. From the same pattern, you can make two identical stocks at the same time, or a right hand and a left hand stock from the same pattern, or a right hand stock from a left hand pattern or just about any combination.
Give me a PM with your email address for more photos and info. And a link to a long thread on another forum showing how to use the duplicator.
I am selling as I am 73 years old and it is time to liquidate some of the shop equipment.
Thanks guys!
Sold to a stock maker and now on its way to Arizona.
Along with 50 or so tiger and quilted maple stock blanks, several big walnut slabs, 25 patterns.
