Awesome, glad you got it running and I can't wait to see the fab table hold downs.

I went with pallet rack and haven't looked back. I have my milling machine, lathe, drill presses and other machines on the floor with the bottom shelf at 6'(I'm short) above them. More storage above that on the top shelf. The other side of my shop has another pallet rack with a tanker desk and...

I was waiting for that moment of reality to set in. You have an extreme amount of storage. I have been coming to that reality for years but can't seem to shake it. There was a post in Bill's thread that I often think of but hearing it there sparked more fire under my ***. The poster basically...

I took the inner/outer guards off my 1/2hp for better access with my wire wheels. It is a dedicated wire wheel grinder, never use a grinder stone wheel without a guard.

Looks more like 78 yrs young ;) Welcome to GJ, nice first post!

Damn that's coming together nicely!

NO buffing or wire wheeling imo, anything less than 1/2 I would only use for grinding lawnmower blades, sharpening knives etc. Put a coarse and fine grinder wheel on there and try not to force anything into the wheels so that it stops them from spinning. Light grinding only.

I apologize for posting without clicking, nice setup and the price is well respectable. Great job.

If you are talking to me, I didn't drop mine with the engine hoist, it was just more than maxed out at the 1/2 ton setting and I could hear and feel it straining. I would NOT recommend using a standard 2 ton HF engine hoist for a 1k+ lb machine. The boom is not long enough in the 1 ton, 1-1/2...

Wired, wireless? Display, lights or sounds? More info is needed but there have been a few people over the years inquire about remote power options for their compressors so there is a need out there for such a product.

Pretty sure you let the magic smoke out wire wheeling. I did that with my NEWLY restored 1/3hp way back in this thread. I highly recommend a 1/2hp or greater for wire wheeling. I don't think any internals will swap but lets hear from the Block Master!

was it not wired 120v to begin with? Definitely swap that NM-B out.

This is the common Cole with all the attachments.

Is that a legless blacksmith vise? I've had a Cole, that is not a Cole unless it's a different model.

Awesome!

Moving heavy things is dangerous, even more so alone. I highly recommend you find a helper with a good head on his shoulders. You also may want to check into Wrecker moving, I've seen several mills strapped to the back of a wrecker. Mine was loaded on to a standard utility trailer with a...

You guys never fail to impress, excellent job!

Fingers crossed for you, those are nice slabs. That large one looks burled or is that just a branching?

I never thought about painting them, I picked up a big oak slab once and laid it out on the concrete parking lot to dry out. You can already guess it split in several pieces rather quickly. If I run into another piece, I know what to do now, thanks!
