Thanks! I've shopped retirement lights before (need one for my bandsaw!) and I figure I got one... with a free drill press attached! I don't see a serial number anywhere, or the usual tag that would carry one. Did Delta put the serial somewhere else in the early days?

I didn't really need another drill press but for $60 I couldn't just leave it there... right? It oughta clean up nicely. Any guesses as to how old it is?

Hah, I love your honesty! Can totally relate... I've just stumbled on your thread and wanted to say that it's a fun read. You've got good ideas and realistic goals, and you've got a very accessible writing style. Kudos to ya, and keep up the good work! I look forward to following along.

Wow, cool stuff but I LOVE that bandsaw! Much envy...

Funeral home, huh? Casket lid opener? :-)

Well, looky there! Nice. I should post the Parker I picked up last week.

Neat vise! Love the styling of that one.

Yeah, tips like this are exactly what we (I, anyway) need!

Re: Wilton and Craftsman Vise Estate Sale Find Nice vise! It looks to be a rebadged Ridgid. If I could find one of those for $100, I'd be quite pleased!

Someone had to say it! :-)

Got a lathe? Or a friend with a lathe? :-) Here's a good replacement handle... That tubalcain's a resourceful fellow, and I like his style!

Subscribed! Nice work so far - keep it up!

Laudable goals, but we need pictures, man! :-D

Thanks, Scott! Here are a couple more shots of some things I like... The lamp and the Equipto cabinet came from an auction, with the bullet vise. I'm trying to decide what I'll keep in those nifty drawers. The check filing cabinets to the right were cast-offs from work. Love love love...

Thanks, drives! And the bench cover idea's an interesting one... but I'm aiming more for the "a place for everything, and everything in its place" approach. I still have room for improvement!

Yeah, it's a beast but if I can keep it clear (a big IF, given my FSD!) it will make a great layout table and multi-use bench.

I also did a little horse-trading recently, selling two workbenches to make way for one BIG shop table... It came out of an old high school shop, and still has gum stuck to the underside! This is the best my space has looked for a while, but I feel like I've got a long way to go. My next...

I've waffled a little over whether to "bump" this thread, because so much of what you saw in the previous pictures hasn't moved in the last year... :-/ But I have made a little progress, and I have acquired a couple of things worth mentioning! For instance, I bought this beauty of a...

NICE, Brent! That's one I'll want to follow...

Yeah it is! I'd have spent that fiver so fast! :-)
