Hey Herb, I probably would have seen them but not realised it - I probably just thought that the typewriters were on a small table or desk...
...come to think of it, I was a lot younger when typewriters were around - I was probably way too busy checking out the typist to notice what the typewriter was on.
Herb, the government has always had a unique way of naming things, especially jobs. I worked for the US Post Office for a year in my youth. My title was Temporary Indefinite Substitute Clerk/Carrier. Very clear how secure my job was. If you lasted more than 364 days they had to delete the "Indefinite" from your title. My 2-week notice came on day 350.

So when the season changed- I guess I was out. But as it was always during school holidays that didn't matter too much to me.

I too worked for the Government in my youth (6 different times and jobs - but that's another story), in a position that was called "Seasonal Clerical Assistant"....

Is it that time already?
You be careful there Herb, doing all that spinning and rolling!
Removing the arms was probably the right decision, I did that with the chair at my desk (at work) - after jamming my fingers between arm-rest and desk one too many times.
I'm with you when it comes to modern cars too - way too much hi-tech gadgetry for my liking.

You really need to get an old, comfortable, high back chair in there for that. A stool is good for bench work, but when the V8's (NASCAR in your world), F1 etc come on - you need a good, soft, high back lounge chair to REALLY settle back into.
Just IMHO (sorry, trying to be "hip" - I didn't know what that meant either until I googled it.). - Just as an aside - "Googled" didn't exist either in the dictionary until about 10 years ago - Hang on - Am I getting old!

Rambling - way past my bed time.

I really shouldn't post after a few wines. Excuse me for that post - it was just drivel.
My apologies.

A little bit humble after that nonsense....
Back in post 1364, what's the story on the drawers under the work bench, I really like the pull handles. And by the way have you ever considered using a bit of red in your shop.
