A couple of projects I need to get to but not sure when I will. Make some clamps for my 12" disk sander and restore my little horizontal mill.

My setup:

Atlas th54 from the 40's, I have a quick change gearbox I am still cleaning up and replacing bushings before I put it on the lathe.

A busybee b240 benchtop mill.

An atlas 42b benchtop press. Here's a vid comparing it to a newer drill press

Which I made a slow speed pulley block for.

A beaver 3700 floor drill press. Here it is with the table raising mechanism. Still haven't finished the table for it.

The horizontal mill was originally bought int he 40's by Greavette boatworks in Gravenhurst Ontario. The guy I bought it from said his father took it home with him when greavette closed down.

I also have a tablesaw, planer, jointer, etc for woodworking.

Very cool, Steve. I've actually seen your new vs. old drill-press video before. I have an old Beaver benchtop, same vintage as your floor-mount.
