Here is mine in original gray.

Vintage Craftsman grinders make a solid addition to any workshop. I picked mine up a few years ago at a garage sale. It runs smooth and has very good power. The born on date is Nov 1970.

Congrats on your purchace although that wiring looks pretty scary. It looks like every inch of it should be pulled out and replaced. I see it being a cozy home for Subaru in the future.

Here is the shop I am building behind my drive through garage. My city's zoning says that no more than 25% of the lot can be covered with structure. With this addition I am at 24.7% which leaves enough wiggle room for a dog house.

I would suggest something made in the US. Old Craftsman and Rockwell/Delta drill presses come up pretty regularly on Craig's List. One thing is to make sure it is comeplete because parts are hard to come by. A little surface rust can be cleaned up in an hour with some steel wool and WD-40. Lee...

I picked my lathe up at a yard sale a couple of years ago. It is a Artisan Lathe from around the 30s. It is pretty rare but it is very complete. I rebuilt it this spring and it has already been helpful on a number of occasions. It can turn 11" dia x 16" lg and has a 1 7/16" through hole. Lee...

Mine was 3/8" rebar 24" apart. It took my contractor the better part of an afternoon to cut and tie it togther. My contractor supplied everything that went into and under the slab. The blueprint called for a 3000 psi miix. Lee
