    How block & tackle releases?!???

    You’ll need to have a load on your main hook to set lock. While in the hoist/raise mode, just pull the rope about 30 to 40 degrees to set lock. Kinda works like a Venetian blind that’s on many older homes windows! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Sharpened drill bits don't last 5 seconds.

    It’s not always possible but if you can heat that broken stud to weaken the temper to give you a better chance to drill it and maybe use those left hand drills like Larry said. I used the Drill Doctor quite often with very good success but read the manual that comes with it to properly restore...

    Homemade 2" x 72" grinder

    Info on Delta Rockwell 70-6X0 drill press

    I’ll look forward to the progress of your project. I have one in my shop but haven’t found a supplier for the main ribbed drive belt. My drill press is still useable but main drive belt has a small tear and it’s only a matter of time when it’s gone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
