ThomasPowers Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 It's these sort of financial "tricks" that are the reason I suggest anyone wanting to be an independent craftsperson take small business classes. Even then it would probably pay to have a good accountant that was up on all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Corps make out better than sole proprietors.. S and C corps are up there in terms of rewards. LLC is great with no annual fees.. For each business segment there are different rules. I took so many business courses way back in the day.. SBA etc, etc.. Back then I was involved with a whole bunch of different ones for over a year. I was trying to grow the business and every person I met with wanted me to get out of hand work and expand into machinery. Different world back then.. Might be better with all the Etsy, and online sales resources.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cook Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I have a Canedy Otto New # 16 post drill. This is a big drill ( 500 lbs) crank or belt drive. Adjustable auto feed. Jim Wisconsin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Jim, please post a photo or 2 of your unit.. These are kinda rare to see.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 So here is a photo of the stand the drill is mounted to.. It came with the stand but the welds were in need of help.. So fixed that and then park it on the side of the shop. This time I squared it up and added the diagonal bracing to keep things square. It was leaning heavy towards the front.. On the back side i mounted my old Buffalo.. Which I bought when I was 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWISTEDWILLOW Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thank you jlpserviceinc, the 1928 Westinghouse motor on the champion is burnt up I need to take it and get it rewound. I’ve got a modern 1hp driving the old silver mfg drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetreeforge Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I got this one a few months ago, its a no brand thing. Its missing the cutting table but I will make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Brouwers Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 What is a good price for one of these. I have found a couple, but have no idea where to begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I paid $50 U.S. for mine in '99, there is a post about it in page 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Brouwers Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 That would be about $80-$90 today (which is crazy.) Would you say that what you got yours for was a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I picked one up just last winter at a junk shop just over in Arkansas for $35 an the guy threw in a pair of tongs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I paid 350 for the Cannedy Otto New model 16, 45.00 for 4 different hand operator ones including a Champion 200. And the Champion 201 I think I paid 300 for.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I thought it was a good deal with the stand and after getting it in the shop and operating with just some lubrication and making a handle for the top wheel. I still think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCRDNADave Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I found this at an antique mall for $90.00. It’s no longer a lamp but I need to find a chuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Dave, a lot of post drills only had a set screw to hold the uniform diameter bit shanks. I have modified mine by putting a modern chuck on a threaded rod and then securing the rod with the set screw. Has worked well for 35 years but the post drill is more of a decorator and I don't use it that often. "By hammer and hand all arts do stand."

PCRDNADave Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Thank you, that’s good to know. I’d like to get it mounted in my shop and use it a few times just to say I did. IMG_6849.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The used to make special drillbits with shanks to fit into a post drill. Adding a modern jacobs check is a major upgrade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetreeforge Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Got this Champion post drill on wensday, was part of a garden display but it had been restored in the past, the owner was surprised when I said its not going to be used for garden display anymore, also I got a leg vice. The other smaller post drill is un branded, its definitely not Champion or Buffalo. I really hate it how people buy this stuff for garden displays and then scrap it when they decide they want to plant something elce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George N. M. Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I REALLY dislike seeing old tools used as decor, either inside or out. It just feels and looks wrong to me. GNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I agree George I hate seeing old stuff not getting used! so imma send you a wash board and agitator I’m not usin currently!
