Cabinets are nice in the garage, especially free cabinets ;)

Haven't ever had any go bad on me. Did have a tube of it leak out, by the time I found it had all matter of stuff stuck to it. what was left in the tube was still good.

If you have a bunch of boards to do or you're on a tight timeline then no, not very practical. I don't look at it so much from a practical standpoint. I enjoy working with hand tools and to me it's peaceful, quiet, and satisfying using a hand plane to prep boards. If I have a big or a rush...

You may not get rich selling them but you'll surely get more than scrap value. Make it worth someone's while and they'll even load them up. Easy fun money for you. That Do-All is definitely worth $200-$300. The buffalo and Johnson ought to bring $100 or better. Put up an ad and see who...

Sent pm, ran out of town a couple days. Back now and ready to watch the refurb.

Nice find for $20. I'm gonna take a peek in my box of parts this evening and see if I've got a handle for you. Mark I do have a complete handle. It's a bit pitted but in working order. Yours if you want it, let me know.

X3 for paste wax. Leaves a pleasant sheen. Reapply when it looks like it needs it which shouldn't be that often.

"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid." Nice model, colors are looking good.

If it's fairly smooth you can start with a scraper like a razor blade. Follow up with some scotch brite pads or the heavier duty stripper pads. You can use some bar keepers friend with the pads, it has a mild acid that helps. Once it's clean a coat of paste wax will keep it looking nice and...

Like forAK said, it depends what you're using it for. I like the sound of a 40' x 40' but that's because it would suit the "junk" I'd be moving in there. Either option seems like it would give you plenty of room. Are the 2 12' doors going on the 36' side or the 48'? Just curious but that...

I did a glue in, if I needed another I would probably pay to have it done. It's a bit cumbersome and difficult to keep straight. Tough clean up if you get one dhesive where you don't want it. Not trying to scare you off, mine turned out pretty good. Give it a go if you are up to it, could save...

That would have been my guess. I have a Mac about that color 25 + years old. Definitely find a hydraulics shop. If they don't have the seals you need they'll point you in the right direction.

Great looking workbench, well done.

^^ I second the paste wax

You might be thinking of the Floating Drive. I've got an 8 inch table saw with that set up. I suppose the work around would be to machine a shaft and press on the appropriate OD bearings. Sounds like a great excuse to buy a lathe ;)
