Workbench and vise. Wish it was this empty right now.

Here's mine. Would love to take full credit but a good buddy had access to a full woodworking shop. This was rough cut red oak that was used in a horse stall.

Picked this one up at an estate auction for $22.50. They even had the owners manual!!

I've found a Carolina Drill Press for sale, it looks like an older product. I've looked through this forum and online and don't see much info on them. Is this a no-name product or a decent drillpress? Thanks!

Ended up finding a Challenger 39000. I got the instructions from Challenger but there is nothing in there on how tight to adjust the equalizing cables. How much tension do you put on the carriages through tightening the cables?

Thanks for the replies! So if you use a 5-1/2" bolt, you push it in 4" so the bottom of the bolt is flush with the bottom side of your slab, correct?

I purchased a used Challenger lift and of course did not get anchor bolts with it. I've read the manual as well as another manual on a different lift and both advise to drill all the way through the concrete if possible. I've used red head wedge anchors previously but was always advised to...

I found a Bend Pak that was installed outdoors. What do I need to look for as far as weather wear on the lift?

Another Lift post……great. I've read many of the posts on lifts and American versus the new imports. I'd like to buy a good used lift and have occasionally seen them on Craigslist, but now that I'm ready to buy, there's nothing around in a 300 mile radius. Many guys post on here you can pickup...

A good buddy of mine is closing his furniture business and is auctioning off all his equipment this weekend in Oklahoma. I haven't seen his shop but he is particular and I'd imagine this is all in good shape. Attached is the sale bill for the auction.

Here's my philco I picked up on CL for $100. The guy rhino lined it with a cheap kit. I plan to repaint. It runs great. I've tried to research to see about what year it is. Anyone know the time frame on this fridge?

I agree with Perrorojo and didn't mean to start a ******* match. I would like my top flat. Been parking my half-ton crew cab on it all weekend and it hasn't moved much. I have some great ideas from some of you guys before it turned into who can weld on flat and who can weld on anything! Glad...

Thanks for some good options, like Steroblan said, it was free so I'll try something and see what happens. I'll give you an update one whether it straightens or turns into a very large paper weight!

Bought a place that had a 24x24 horse barn. Stripped it down and added a 30x40 right behind it! Started dirt work in 2010 and been doing most of it myself. My office and man cave is in the 24x24 and work area in the 30x40. Still finishing work bench and many other projects. I've used this forum...

Yes plate side will be down. Got it in the shop at lunch. Smooth side has some welds I need to grind off and I'll trim the end off that has the holes in it.
