Thanks for the kind words. The top has worked out great. The old one has a great patina from the Greenville SC machine shop where it spent its first life. The new end has matched it up really well. I just used wax to protect the raw wood.

Thanks, its been fun.

Unfortunately, like many on this forum, I couldn't leave well enough alone and found these two Stor-Loc cabinets on CL. They need a thorough degrease and clean up. Maybe a spray job as well. Of course, my counter top will be too short...

As it sits today. Needs a good clean up after I get the clutch done in the Ranger.

Made it wide enough for my old Craftsman project center to fit in between.

Finished the rattle can respray of the Vidmars and moved them in. A buddy helped me built a matching top from more maple. its in the foreground with the mounted Wilton.

All done.

Yes, it's quite heavy at almost 1000 pounds but it picks itself up on 3 removable casters and then I can shove it pretty well. Or better yet, have my son shove it. I think I have a long enough power cord set up to use it outside in the drive if needed. Thank you and will do. Thank you and...

Electricity run!! Just needs a good cleaning.

Actually 2, really close together...

Thanks, I think they're going to work out great. I'm just giving them clean and quick rattle can respray.

Electricity run, 220v, 20a. I think I'm going to like this thing.

Yes. Not as much as I would like. Made it out 3 times last year. Final time was National Corvette Museum, and I blew oil, cracked the radiator and cooked the brakes. So it's been in the garage since adding heat control. That was the impetous for the lift, tired of jack stands. Goal this year is...

Be careful. When I picked up the cabinets, I walked by this Looked like fun and it cleaned up nicely. The picture is of it as I brought it home. The surface rust on the table came right off with a soak in Evaporust. Now it looks like new.
