Hello All,

New to the Carolinas and living in Fort Mill, SC. Moved here from Mass. about a year ago and in the process of starting up a new shop. Closed my shop up north and sold off all the big stuff for the move, thinking it would be relatively easy to replace once we were settled. Well, let's say, it's been an experience. I now have a small shop space in Rock Hill, where I will be doing custom cabinets and furniture. I'm continually in the process of trying to acquiring stationary machinery. I have found there are no real used machinery dealers in the area and no one uses Craigslist. Hopefully, there are new friends to be made here on NCWoodworker and someone can steer me in the right direction so I can be making sawdust again.

Welcome John. I've met some here that are ninja-like in their ability to find great used equipment at incredible deals. Can't say that is me. Shop auctions come up here and there. Around here, good equipment goes fast on Craigslist when it comes up. Anyway, welcome again and good luck getting your new shop set up.

Welcome neighbor! You missed the big NC furniture industry exodus 10 years ago. People got some nice deals on machinery and lumber. Your best bet are the auction sites for big stuff (http://www.irsauctions.com, http://www.xfactory.com, etc) and locally: http://machineking.com/ http://www.leneavesupply.com/ . http://www.redmondmachinery.com/ (south of Atlanta) does a pretty brisk trade in used machines but it would be a long day to go there and back unless you've become a Braves fan and time your trip well.
