Ok, it's been a few months with no update. That big slab should be completely dry and stabilized now, so we want an update on the big bench! :D Side note, I love the Nicholson you built. I built one and have had a great time using it. While I love the concept of a monsterous Roubo, I'm afraid...

Up for grabs is a Biesemeyer overarm blade guard. This item is unused. It likely weighs more than my meager Craftsman table saw, so I really have little use for it. I need the space and a certain toolmonger needs the money, so somebody take this off my hands! How does $250 sound? Given the size...

^What keelan said. Cheap, works great, easy to apply.

I've got a skil worm drive with a skyhook on it. It hangs under my workbench on a 2x4. My cordless saw lives in the tool bag with the rest of my cordless set so it's all together when I have to take it somewhere.

^ ME! (taps foot impatiently...)

Gorgeous work! Keep us updated when you finish your next project!

I don't know you either, but if you're on the forum, you're a friend! Get well soon!

I've got a set of the 6 ton HW stands for Loretta (the dually). Mine aren't a perfect representation of car show-quality stack of dimes TIG work, but they look a hell of a lot better than that! I'd be kind of pissed if I were you. Any thoughts on returning them? That being said, the set I have...

Dammit. Never seen one before, but now I want one. :shocking:

I also spy a certain 2.5 ton drill press that we got teaser pictures of but never saw any "it's done" shots of like the DoAll. :mad: I keed, I keed. But I'd love some info and follow up on that monster. I've been trying to convince myself that I need to wait a while before jumping ship from...

Nice! Love their stuff, especially their oil filter pliers. Gotta add a few more to my own collection now, dammit. :lol_hitti

Awesome! Glad to hear things turned out this way. Keep us updated as you make progress, and if you get a chance, how bout a pic or two of the STI? :D

Very cool! Congrats!

Thanks for the replies! I think I'm headed to HF to have a look at their idea of a 3 jaw puller and maybe a bearing separator too. After reading a dozen threads on "Buy once, cry once" tool philosophy, I think I can swing an arbor press with my next paycheck. Probably fail to understand how I...

I'm mid-way through a drill press restoration and the bearings in the motor need to be replaced. What's your general recommendation on a bearing puller? I'm looking for more machinery-oriented applications than automotive-specific ones. Is the HF stuff ok for this, or is this somethig I need...
