Here are a couple of workbenches that I traded away recently to get the big butcherblock monster I posted on the previous page... The Lyon bench was the nicer of the two - these things are built like tanks! This Equipto had some nice curves but was surprisingly lightweight as compared to...

I'll see about posting a few more pictures of the Equipto for you, drives. As for the cabinets on the dolly/cart, that's a failed experiment as far as I'm concerned. The casters I used are plenty sturdy, but I used them because I got them cheap - and none of them lock! :-/ With as much...

I'm not even halfway through this thread, and it's already one of my favorites! I was lucky to win this beautiful Equipto cabinet at an auction a few weeks back... it's a real beaut, and even came with a few odd bits 'n pieces in it! The lamp and the Equipto bench cabinet came from the...

Oooh, that looks mighty familiar - are the legs stamped ASI at the "ankles"? I just brought this number home over the weekend. It was a bench out of an old school shop class, complete with gum on the underside and everything! :-)

Mine's the ubiquitous Delta 14" saw, but it came with a "big" 1hp motor. Seems most of them were sold with 1/2 or 3/4hp... I love this old machine! :thumbup:

Yeah, for the lawn maintenance stuff and the bicycles... but I'm right there with you - I'm forever tripping over bicycles in my garage! :-/

Ack!

I really enjoy Matthias' videos. That guy's always thinkin'... It helps that he has a good sense of humor, too!

Tell us a little more about that bench, wouldja? It looks like it was pulled out of a battleship... or an underground bunker! Love it!

Hello from a fellow Twin-Citian. I feel your pain about the unfinished garage - mine's good for about three (nonconsecutive!) weeks of the year!

I shaved my rivets, once. Never again.

I just found your thread a few days ago and have been reading it through in my "spare" time. I'm definitely following along, and have really enjoyed your efforts thus far. I get the forum burnout thing - I'm here on a little "vacation" from my main hobbies and haunts - but I do hope you...

Man, I am jealous... That thing is all kinds of awesome! Bring it down to MN, wouldja? :)

This one goes to a new home today... Goodbye, friend.

It looks original but I've never seen a blue Unisaw. Painted. Nice that it has the original motor cover still (they're fragile, and often missing). I bet he'll get close to his asking price for it. It'll need some good cleaning at minimum. Probably needs belts and may have a bad arbor...

Yeah, that's all too familiar... I didn't need one, either! :) But it really is a cool machine. The variable speed mechanism consists of a "cup and cone" assembly; speed is adjusted by moving the "cone" piece higher or lower on the "cup" drive.

Here's a nifty machine that followed me home a few months ago... It's a Hamilton Varimatic Sensitive drill press, in really nice original condition.

That's a great looking bench! And I love the cabinets, too... I'm on the hunt for some secondhand Lista, but the competition around here seems pretty fierce! :-/

Heh... :-) You'll sleep easier knowing that the "after" pic was taken before I'd bolted the jaws back into place - I had to get some new mounting hardware as the original bolts had been stripped out. All good now!

Here's my first Wilton, before and after I put a little elbow grease into it...
