1920-60s DELTA / ROCKWELL picture thread - Post your Delta!

Sometimes it’s the little things that count!

My floors are not level and I’ve been meaning to address that for some time. Plus I’m 6’2” and always felt the pedestal was a little on the short side for my preference. So, I grabbed some spare 2” thick maple and built a nice little base. Worked great and gave me an additional 3-1/2” of needed height.

That came out absolutely beautiful. Very well executed.

@wmec627 welcome to the Delta thread, your first entry is beautiful. Nice that you have an original Delta 1116 drum switch, and the cast iron legs to compliment that lathe.
