We have a Morso Chopper w/spare blade(DK8900) & Mitre-Mite VN2 by Putnam that we would like to give away. You would have to pick up the items on Cape Cod. The chopper is very heavy. Both items are in good working order. Just old. www.maryjhj@gis.net.
 
Jerry-The fall is a great time to visit the Cape, maybe time for a short vacation?
 
Howard,
If I wasn't sitting in the this airport waiting for my flight (now delayed until 6am) to Cancun;

I'd be on the phone making arrangements for it to be picked up and shipped to Portland, OREGON. That other Portland.

There are many new framers out there who foolishly will be thinking. . . . if only I lived a few hundred miles from there. . .

My best guess is Beakins, Allied, you name the moving company would move that across the country or anywhere else for less than $600.

And THAT is a great buy on just the chopper. With blades, is just sweeter.

The V-nailer makes a great lobster trap anchor. . .

No Morso is "Old", just "broken in".

My Morso is well "broken in". My grandfather bought it used in the late 50's or early 60's. Still works like a charm!

If you haven't used a chopper before, be careful it ain't no nail trimmer...it can easily be a fingertakeroffer if you aren't alert. Hope my disability insurance man isn't reading this!

i like choppers a buch that is why this interests me so. they are simple machines that last several lifetimes.

dermot if this works out i will have to find out where this place is you speak of.

Dad broke mine in. Everything has a negitive so here's what I think about the morso chopper. It rusts with every drop that touches it. I rest my cans on that "ledge" over the blade depth knob. I have to scrub it with a Scotch pad and WD-40 monthly.

I guess if that is as bad as it gets I can live with it. Over all these things are like tanks.

Jay,

Is Owensboro in a tropical rain forest? I've never seen a spot of rust on my chopper.

Maybe you should start drinking BOTTLED beer.
 
Go for it Dennis! I bought the same combo several years ago and it didn't cost more than a couple hundred bucks to ship. Plus, I was up to the Cape two weeks ago and there was a Great White Shark lurking in the shallows feasting on blues. They were hoping he would head back out to sea, but he appeared quite happy entertaining the tourists. He was about 14 feet long when I was there but the last report I received he had grown to 17 overnight. Photo Opportunity!
 
Dennis, My wife and I own a 2bed/2bath condo in Brewster. (one town over from Harwich) We will be going down after closing on Saturday and the second bedroom will be unoccupied. If you would like to use it Saturday night, give me a call at 508 770-1270.

Also, If you go to Bonnat's as Dermot suggests make sure you get the "Meltaways." That's their specialty.
 
Thanks Jerry for sticking up for me (us "Jerrys" have to stand strong). Anyway I thought I was going to have to post some pictures to prove that I wasn't loosing my mind.

If you sneeze near this thing it leaves little spit rust spots on it.
 
Oh yeah, anybody who wants to pick up an old Fletcher 8410 glass wall cutter, it's sitting here in my way.

I'll bring it to the cape if you want it Dennis.
 
John Despres is coming to look at all three items tommorrow(Wed 10-6). If by chance he doesn't take them I'll contact people in the order that I have received contacts. Thanks, Howard
 
Hello, after being an interested observer for some time now, this is my first post on The Grumble. I started out as a home-based framer in January, I probably can write a book on what not to do when starting a business. After some begging, borrowing, and belt tightening I was able to move into a warehouse/store front. I was finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. At least I thought it was the light, it turned out to be a freight train called Hurricane Frances and Jeanne.
One softened my roof, the other tore it off, and this caused major damage to my new shop. Unfortunately I was not insured for this, replacing it will need to be done by me. I saw this post about the free chopper and v-nailer, which would be a tremendous help in rebuilding. I know I am not the first to inquire about this, but it would go a long way to helping me to continue my dream of owning my own shop. My wife’s boss has generously agreed to pay for the shipping charges to Florida. I hope I am not to late, I hate to beg like this but my back is against the wall..
 
cliff,
i thank you for the post about the cutter and the bed. i am not sure i want to hear about the third item...better not to know. it will make it a bit worse. if i do get a chance at these items i will gladly take the 8410 fletcher.
it will go to someone in need and that is best. thanks again for offering it here to people on the grumble.

John just picked up everything. Thanks for all the interest. Howard
 
Hummphhhh! The offer was posted at 3:55pm on 10-04. I sent them an email at 4:51pm that same day and still haven't heard back . I emailed both my phone numbers too.
