Don't know quite why, but I have never set up a proper workshop. I just jump from repair to repair, and on a farm that can be almost anything, anywhere, so I am now in retirement getting organized!
First step is this Sears drill press dating from the 30's. 1/2 hp motor still runs great - just had to redo the rotten old wiring for safety. Picked it up at an auction maybe 15 years ago - now it's bolted to a solid bench.
Even the manual is available online!
