FWIW I love my 211

Very creative repurpose!

Where did you source the copper and brass rivets? Thanks!

I just finished drilling my 1/2" top. I couldn't seem to find a 5/8" annular cutter that would work in the conventional chuck that I was using in an ancient Black and Decker mag drill, so I chugged ahead with conventional twist drills. Did a careful layout, center punched, then drilled a 3/8...

Nice design. As Thumper68 said, build what you want and enjoy the process. You didn't say that you were using receiver-specific tubing, but you probably know that 2" tube won't nest with standard 2 1/2" x 1/4" wall welded tube, as the weld bead interferes. I wasn't able to source long sections...

Tables came out really nice. In one of your shop photos I noticed what appears to be a 2" stationary belt sander. I have been wanting a similar unit, but they don't seem to be very common. Can you tell me the brand and source. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Thanks Scotty. I'll check with HD to see the brand, size, and rotation of their rental machines and then order from you.

I need to do the same for a re-coat. Anyone have suggestions for source of the orange bristled wheel, rent or buy? HD does not rent them at my store. Thanks

vvmvvb: this is a great looking install. Question on depth - could it be shallower if my intention was to use the shortest pad configuration, say 4.75" min height + .75 for the plywood and .50 for just-in-case, for a total of 6"? Thanks.

Got it, thanks.

Looks very nice. I don't see where the hydraulic line runs to the unit. Can you enlighten me. Thanks.
