Tool Advice needed

[Smithy]

I closed my studio a year ago and have some tools that I don't know if they will be useful as a new hobby maker.

A Uni-mat lathe (with all the accessories. It is a mini lathe that is great for small work.

A dual inlet dust collector (Velocity)with adjustable hoods that allow individual positioning.

A 20 ton desktop hydraulic press (Bonnie Doon), with tooling.

These were used for making jewelry. I will never be a full time maker. Your opinions will be greatly appreciated. As always TIA...Teddy

Just my two cents but i would never sell tools that i own now, you may not see a use for them now but sure enough you will if you get rid of them You will.

Lathe: custom pins from salvaged material, butt caps, turning down screw heads...

Dust collctor: always lots of dust when grinding handle materials and such...

Arbor press: great for flairing tubes to make handle rivets with appropriate dies...


Never sell one tool to buy another.
