Thanks

Any particular size you're wanting?
Also, can you perhaps narrow down the "any other workshop items" a bit?
eg maybe what sort of things are you into, what machines do you have or any general categories of stuff that you're chasing?

Hi Steve
Thanks for your reply, now that I reread it it is a pretty vague ad😃. I would like to learn how to scrape and rebuild machines so that is why I'm looking for a surface plate. As for a size, I think like most things bigger is better👍 but my workshop isn't very big it's about 6.6x6.5m so I think maybe about a meter square might be good to start out on I don't really know what would you suggest?
As for other machines or tooling really i would be interested in most things. I currently have a qualos lathe of about 9 inches and a invicta 30 shaper plus a woodworking bandsaw and table saw. The biggest problem is that I live in Hobart. So it depends on the seller if they want the hassle ofselling to me.
Thanks again for the reply.

There's a few of us in/near Hobart.
I don't have anything for sale ATM but you're welcome to drop by and visit, talk machinery etc. I've a pretty comprehensive workshop including a surface plate. There's already a waiting list for it though and it won't be for sale unless I find a bigger one. Currently I'm NOT LOOKING for more stuff.....
Send me a PM if you want.
