Join me on the rather extravagant trip I made to the UK after spending a bit too much time on some machine auction sites!!
I ended up with every machine you could possibly need in a home hobby workshop. Plus some extras that took my fancy whilst there!!
I collected them all in ~47h, across 4 cities in the UK.
The total journey distance was over 800km.
The total weight of machines and equipment was ~6 tons.
Follow me on the journey collecting each machine, getting them loaded onto the truck and send back home.
Don't forget to subscribe!!
The machines I bought were:
- Bridgeport BRJ Vertical Milling Machine
- Guyson Blasting Cabinet
- Tom Senior Horizontal Mill
- Colchester Master Lathe (Buck model variant)
- Studer Type OB Grinder
- Progress 3A Pillar Drill
- 2x metal cabinets
- Plus a load of tooling and extra bits and bobs
Please note:
As these machines were purchased abroad, via an auction website, I did not get to view any of them, or see them running before collection. You are literally watching me see the machines for the first time.
As such, I had no idea of their condition - Assessing the condition of each machine will be in later videos.
This is not how I would recommend buying machines, despite it being very good fun!!
