I have some old Milwaukee drills and sawzal. The super old girl is a d handle, and it has a fair amount of sparking in the arbor, which adds to its charm. I still use all of them. The large drill will break your arm clean off of your body if it gets caught drilling metal. I spent $20 on each...

:thumbup:I cant wait to see how this turns out. Grab the hammers and bars and start tearin!

:bowdown: I like the look. I might give it a try. Any advice on finding old palates?
