You guys remember my estate sale find from a few months ago, right? Well, just as soon as I got that old thing home I took it over to my buddy Curtis’ shop so that he could do a full restoration on it. He dropped it back off at  our shop last week and the results are stunning. Check it out:

Last year, I bought a gorgeously restored Craftsman bandsaw off of Craigslist. If you’ve been around long, you might remember the DC conversion that I did on the machine. If not, you can check it out here.

So I spent some time in London last week and ran into a bit of history while doing so… An English buddy of mine and I were standing outside a pub when I noticed a gorgeous set of old carriage doors on the building. What struck me most was the hinges… I asked my buddy about them and a history lesson began.
