I was able to grab a couple of great Deals this morning as well. I love swap meets. It's definitely a great excuse to buy more wood------Snick



Here is some nice Koa set for $80 that I was able to get from Alan with Volcano Guitar Works.



And here is a Figured set of Goncolo Alves #3 for $45 from Rich's Table that I was lucky to get.

Hopefully today will spark everyone to sell some stuff. I'm even thinking about it. I may need to in order to buy more. Ha Ha Ha-----Snick

I had my sights set on Lance's $120 4-piece-back cocobolo, or as I like to call it, cocolobobo.


And I got a vacuum pump from John Mayes for $60 shipped.


I think I'm done buying, gotta save some dough to build vacuum fixtures for my new pump. I might try to do the Joe Woodworker set up for it.

I'm still hoping to score something in trade, you know, the "swap" in Swap Meet.

Hesh, I'm amazed that set of BRW lasted 3 or 5 minutes or whatever it was. I'm guessing the server wet its pants when we all connected. That looks like an $800 set at least. Great score!

Hesh, you beat me to that Braz set

I did get another plane and some sets of hog though!

Just as well, you'll undoubtedly do a nicer job with the braz than I would, congrats

I got some brace profiling jigs that I've been too lazy to make (thanks Tim McKnight!)...and I sold all 5 items I listed right away! Trouble is, I'm still cleaning my shop and asking the question, "Do I want to move it?"...I may have to pony up some $$ to the OLF and list the rest of it!

I got some videos from Hesh, one nice WR Cedar from Uncle Bob along with a birdseye fretboard from Uncle Bob for only $8.

Being my first swap meet, I am having a hard time controlling myself. All during class today (which unfortunately started at 10am!) I was thinking of what beautiful wood I was missing out of. It was a horrible feeling.

I picked up too many things to list them all. I still got stuff to sell or trade off listed if anybody is interested.

$45 light fiddleback curly Honduras Mahogany, from Bob Cefalu:




Plus, a trade of one of my Claro Walnut sets for a set of something from Oz, "to be determined", from Bob Connor

[/QUOTE] Hey Snick I don't know if I ever welcomed you to the OLF before so I'll do it now. Nice score my friend.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Hesh. That BRW is incredible, congrads.I placed orders on a few more items late tonight. I haven't got conformation yet, but I'm keeping my fingers .crossed.I'll post some pics if it all works out This Swap Meet has been an absolute blast! My wife is going to snatch me bald-headed! But I have a feeling that I'm not the only one in trouble It's really impossible for me to resist buying when the deals have been so good-----Snick
