Well yesterday I did one thing to the barn, or rather outside the barn. The paint has been peeling from my sign post for years, I couldnt take it any more! Nice and brown now. Then I got distracted from working "on" the barn to working "in" the barn. Lately my wife has shown an intrest in...

They really are, so many people just chuck them because they are old and harder to work on... Best part about them is that they are cheep! If you are willing and get the oportunity to, pick up an old 113 and a "REAL" fence. It will cut just as good as one of thoes 2k+ cabinet saws. I have...

I didnt get a chance to really clean up anything today, but I did do a little experimenting with the new Vega fence. My wife asked me to make some floating shelves for our wedding photos. I have never attempted to make a floating shelf and all I had available was some rather wet 2x6x16 yellow...

That floor plate weighs in at ~15k!! Holy moly! Sure It would NEVER EVER move but you would have to engineer the floors and build the building around it haha. But, if someone is willing to spend 5k on a chunk like, that plus shipping, im sure they wouldnt mind. It would be kina cool if I could...

Il have to add another piece of deck plate to beat that thing. And its got paint... Haha he wins :willy_nil

Thanks, I do weld but my shop is truly a hobby shop, everything works tho and is used regularly with the exception on the tig machine due to the lack of a foot pedal. I dont have a trade per say, I was a finish carpenter for a bit untill I got into managment. Hard to have a real trade at 24.

Its ~4'x8' the top is 1 1/4" thick the legs are solid cast, there is only about 6" of space under the table, there are two 1'x3'x4' cast balast pieces occupying that space. The machine it was attached to was a 200 ton flywheel press aboard a ship.

I really should wait until I have set up my computer to start posting, but I just cant help myself. The phone will do just fine for now... Also untill now I really have not documented my work untill recently. This forum has changed that for me. A little back ground and an explanation of my...

Thanks, my grandfather found it somewhere when he was younger. Its a rather large Columbian vise, I really never looked for any info on it, before now I never had a reason to talk about it haha. Looking around on here, it seems like you guys "get it" so I will do my best to clean things up a...

The lugs really were to keep the legs from jumping or sliding, tho the legs were not allways attached to a piece of deck plate. They were attached to a 200 ton flywheel punch aboard a naval vessel. The table is a piece of the deck plate from the ship.

Mine is not as pretty or as clean as some of the benches I have seen on here... But it is pretty hefty, weighing in at just under 8000 lbs before the vise, anvile, clamps, and trinkets. I think its pretty cute albeit a little dirty. Sorry about the mess, since I have found this forum I have...
