When you get a hankerin'

Post by Joe Jones »

It is always dangerous when I get a hankerin' It usually costs me a lot of money.

I've got a hankerin' to buy an ironworker. I have been looking at the Scotchman machines, and the Edwards machines, and the Piranha machines. I am not quite sure I want to spend the money on one yet, but I got this dang hankerin ... :roll: :roll: :roll:

I love my Scotchman. I'd give up the plasma table before I'd do without my ironworker.

I've had a 40 ton Scotchman for 15 years now, only problem I find is the size...a little small. I'm pricing out a Masteel 66 ton dual station ironworker, around 15 K brand new.

With all of the other unfinished projects, I really shouldn't be thinking about this machine. But you know ... that N-word ... "Need!" :HaHa
