Really nice work! Love the restoration of awesome tools. Especially the sander, I want one of these soo bad. My HF 6" belt sander is okay but I want one of those rockwells.

Love, love the work you guys do. It really is inspiring. I have been a tin bender for almost 20 years and I still get excited when I see work like you guys are doing! I have never done any rivet construction but am starting to play with this now. I always look forward to your updates. Thanks...

Hey love the build! I am not a woodworker but am learning. I am a metal worker and if I can't beat it into submission and weld it together I just don't understand it. Watching your build reinforced my resolve to do more woodwork. The work you are doing is really nice keep up the good work!

Zeph, just finished the read and love it. I love the pics of the floor repair. I do this for a living and am having to replace the inner roof bracing on an old GTO and had to take the roof skin off to gain access. I can appreciate the amount of work you are doing and the quality is really nice...

Re: The Little Vintage Garage. Bagged, Just finished the thread and I love the work you are doing! I have been building Street Rods professional for almost 18 years now and the attention to detail you put into your vises is what sets them apart. I just started my own shop about 1 1/2 years ago...

Nice!

Re: Yea Old Garage Man just read your thread and just wanted to add a good job. I love the old wood barns but wood and do not ply well together. I am a metal man and if I can't cut to short, weld it back together, and beat into submission it is beyond me talents! Now the R/T that I can do! What...

Hey Guys, I am pretty new here but have been working with old equipment for quite a few years. I picked up this Delta drill press from a friend and customer for 4 hours of labor on his street rods. It was very solid but it had some broken wires on the capacitor and the cord was cracking really...

Congrats Dave! Awesome to see your excitement in finding one of your "unicorns". I understand and can relate to your quests!

Thanks IM, good to be here.

Hey Red Leader, I just finished this amazing thread (finally) but once I started I couldn't stop reading it. Love the build and especially the tools! I am a metalworking guy myself, wood and I do not get a long very well, but I can't resist the look of the old tools. Keep up the good work and...
