Road Trip For 2nd Vintage Craftsman Shaper

[@Kevscancave]

DAwR is Baaaaaaaack! Witness relocation 👍😝👍🕷️

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

.......time off for good behavior.

[@bigsonslawncare]

2 Shapers and not shaping up! And a wicked 🕷️ lurking on a stick! I'm here for the Ridgeline only!!!!!!!!😅

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Yup....The only real shape I'm interested in are the round glazed. What is it with those spiders...that is probably the 4th or 5th such monster I've come across. I thought the lawn guys had this under control.....are they not cutting grass! I may wanna go down to the pier and ask around.

[@bigsonslawncare]

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals 🕷️ and 🍩 The world 🌎 is a safe place.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

@@bigsonslawncare Exactly.... ( Breaking news....Ridgeline is down.....it has 200,000 plus miles on it and it was bound to break one of these days. Not sure whether to sell it or spend the money on the repair. Let me tell you the story. I'm packing it for a trip and I'll need all the space it has. So I swept it inside and out. Put a ton of stuff away in the basement then shut the lid. Swept the little toddler bed that they have and began loading. There was a jug of oil that had just a little bit left in it. I figured, put the rest into the massive 3.5 power unit and then save the jug for oil changes. Great thinking I thought. I went to spin off the oil filler cap and it broke on the threads. Half the cap was still screwed in with jagged points sticking up. It looked like Grasscutter was in a hurry and didn't sharpen his blades for a month. So now the Ridgeline is down.....blown oil filler cap. )

[@Dalesworkshop]

Nice purchase of a cat bed. My cat gets in the saw dust in my compound miter saw and sleeps. I guess he likes the softness or maybe the wood smell. Somewhere around Lancaster we ate at a Amish restaurant Gooooood food .

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I wanted to toy with the machine while it was waiting to go the next leg of the journey.....but foiled again. Until that day I never knew how comfortable Craftsman beds were. tHanks for watching!

[@UnfinishedProjectDartSport]

I’m here!! She’s a Beaut’ Clark!!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

That truck was amazing. The owner got into the picture so I cut it off. I did compliment him, told him I wanted to film it for you. I've got a few others filmed.....only...well....not so nice. Have a super weekend!

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Nice find. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT brother

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

tHank you sir....You too. Hope you have a great weekend!

[@SixxiePlays]

Great share, 🏃🏽until the spider showed up! Wonderful scenery enjoyed seeing the woodworking tools!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

With the magic of editing I pulled out the whimpering sounds I was making as I carried the monster. tHanks for stopping by. Have a super Labor Day

[@DUMPSTERDIVINGADELAIDE123]

Nice to see you back, watching now 😊

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Hej there. I'm still working on my dumpster video. Been about a month. I just can't get it to where I like it...I'm thinking of just letting it go as-is. ....( I just think I can do a touch better with it.....only I don't know how to edit what I want....) Have fun...Stay warm this weekend!

[@hillbillychic3933]

Never knew Craftsman made such a thing but they look good.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

They pop up from time to time, moderately priced. I think the folks who made their own raised panel cabinet doors would use them. Me, I just round over boards to make window sills. However....Now that the sawmill is around I'm thinking of making some basic window trim as well. Slow process, but....my projects tend to be slow because I'm so far behind. Next poplar I get I think I'm going to cut it for future trim....How long does it take to dry it.....a year? That goes by fast....Christmas is coming to the retailers in just a couple months! Merry Craftsman to you and yours!

[@brycewiborg8095]

Lancaster is definitely Amish country. It's been 6 years since I've been across 30. The cat looks comfortable. tHank you.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Hej there. I'm very impressed at how those families keep their farms so clean. I'm trying but I'm a life long Pig-Pen

[@HogshooterHotrods]

Awesome find, cool drive and great ice cream! That is from a time when Craftsman was king!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Yeah.....I think you said it best. I have a Craftsman table saw that is still put away...I think it is a 1966. ( Not sure why I think that but I really like using it. It was left in a house project...waiting on me for years now ) tHanks for stopping in, hope you have a super weekend!

[@jjsonsspeedshop4962]

Your shop is shaping up, you’ve got quite the collection 👍🏻

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I always dreamed of it.....tHanks. I'm tower of boxes tipping over at heart, so keeping this space clean takes a lot for me...but I'm trying. tHanks for stopping in

[@westhighlandsshop]

Good see you back! I agree, the base looks a little scary! Your shop is full of cool stuff!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

tHank you..... I hope sometime in the future you stop in for a visit. I need a bit more time....there is a roof section that I need to fix...maybe this fall or over the winter. ( I work with cash so it can drag out ) ( It took years to collect all this stuff...but it didn't take much money....I've daydreamed about counting it up one day with the camera running )

[@OutOfOrderGarage]

As they say “Shape up, or ship out!” 😎

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Ahhh, That's the spirit! tHank you..... I hope the weather goes back to coffee for you soon. Enjoy the 80s....

[@theadventuresofkennydebbie]

Good morning. I am surprised you found a 2nd one. Great find.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

tHank you....Great to see you. ( I've been away from Wifi for many of the last six weeks ). I'm nearly back to real life now...still hiding until they find me. I was just driving the other day thinking about how much fun getting this shaper was. The second to last piece was the filming you see in this video. It was a great day where I met a new friend in person and the weather wasn't brutally hot. ...and then like you point out....The luck of finding the exact same machine. Making my own window sills saves money and is fun. I'm ready to work! Have a great week

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Nice road trip!! And new toys 😎 Handy little trailer!!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

tHank you.... I really like all my trailers. I was up to 14 or so at one point...unfortunately someone else liked a couple of them. On this trip I was trying to get an appointment to stop and see a 24' narrow trailer. The person didn't respond. Most times, my Marketplace or Craig's notes get me to the top of the list...other times I think people read them as spam. ....sure would be fun to have a trailer that is longer than the truck........That's Farmer Big League !

[@VinoRatRodbuilds]

DAWR!!!! 👍

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

For a minute there I thought the judge was calling my case for "impersonating a truck".

[@HeidisHereAndThere]

#6👍🏼 Watching all the action..😊 WHAT THE HECK KINDA SPIDER IS THAT?? 🕷️

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Hey hey! Don't ask me.....I spend my time running away from those monsters. They run from me too.....it isn't my size but the way I scream like a baby. Kind of a shriek, like if a goat stepped on your big toe. I'm pretty sure neither one of us knows what the other is.

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Awesome looking area! Thats a cool Dodge!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

It was mint....Don't know if the video captured the perfectness

[@Dalesworkshop]

That ice cream really looks good.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Not only.......it cost less than big city attempts. It was a real treat. I hope it motivates you to have a good weekend.....with whipped cream on top!

[@Dalesworkshop]

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals absolutely.

[@Uwannawatch]

Very Cool! Where have ya been? Missed ya Buddy! Great to see ya on here!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

tHank you....kind thoughts go a long way these days. I'm away from my computer. ( No, I didn't get sent to my room without dinner ). Work is real ugly, life is in the laundry, but camp is nice. Stay very well and I hope a great flea market is right around your next corners!

[@WoodandMetalGarage]

The shapers Museum!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Does that mean...it's okay to keep buying more?

[@timeflysintheshop]

Glad to see a new video. I was getting worried. I can tell that was the Susquehanna river you drove over. It is wide and shallow.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I had a second clip where horse and buggy are crossing but it was too shaky . What are you working on now that the heatwaves are subsiding?

[@timeflysintheshop]

@Dancing_Alone_wRentals I have the day off from work. I am taking our van to get new tires. I am watching the dog and cat play fight right now. I need to service the fly traps. Since I stopped burning yard debris, I am taking out a large old fire pit and leveling it off so I can just mow it. I have a lot of weed trimming to do. FUN FUN FUN! But TOMORROW, George and I are going to the Maker's Fair, and then to visit a coworker who lives farther into the country such that we can do some shooting. George has never fired a real gun and my brother wants his back, so if we can go use it once, then we can return it. How about You?

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

@@timeflysintheshop Hej...that sounds fun...even the grass part. I like cutting grass. That trip should be a blast..... I burn pallets and then add saw mill wood then grill over that. I really enjoy the small crackling fires. ( I need to learn to heat water that way ) Life is in the laundry right now. Real problems in every direction, but I have a job I volunteered for and I'm heading south west for two weeks. Rome will be burning in a big way, but the trip is important too. (Perspective). All the problems save one can be fixed with money. One is just life. So bring on the storm....maybe I'll learn a lesson or two. Have fun visiting the Co

[@timeflysintheshop]

@Dancing_Alone_wRentals well I am glad to hear that you are still upbeat. Have a safe and successful trip.

[@FailureatRetirement]

Now I unexpectedly have to make an ice cream run.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Ice cream a day...helps keep the doctor.......I forget the rest, it's been a while. Are you staying put....or are you out there traveling? Have a super weekend!

[@FailureatRetirement]

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals we went to Houston a couple of weeks ago. We got there a few days after the hurricane. That was fun. We also brought the pandemic home as a souvenir. Again, fun. We have been splitting our time between our regular home and our home in the mountains so I’ve got nothing to complain about. The only downside is no estate sales or donuts in the mountains.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

@@FailureatRetirement ....estate sales are fun but researchers have discovered we can live without them... ......but donuts on the other hand.

[@615theBuzzard]

Where have you been? Barry’s summer camp?

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Life is in the laundry. Not keeping up. Turns out I went to the library to borrow a book but they said some guy took it and hasn't given it back since 9th grade. They finally got another but in the meantime I was using Barry's other book. " How to write big big big songs". Well, I wasn't writing songs I was trying to fix stuff. I fell asleep in the chapter about the music business being messy. I woke up a little confused, more so than normal, and made all my projects a big big big mess. So now to storage and then out of WIFI for two weeks. ....that should fix it. ....works with teeth. Keep your BBQ warm, and your weather mild.
