Grafton Drill Press Rebuild
« on: October 12, 2019, 10:38:15 AM »
Hi all, this one led me on a merry dance, but I won through in the end, and although I started off with no intentions of totally rebuilding the drill head and the motor, thats what ended up happening! Hope you enjoy it!

Sorry about that chaps, but Andrew has fixed it for me, and got the joke as well! Hope you all enjoyed it, more to come, and more of me on camera( if you can stand it!) as I get used to gopro foibles, I am tidying up with view to a workshop tour video next, but spent the last week finishing my workshp heating, as winter draws on................... Just done a 60 mile round trip to Hull in the pouring rain to buy my youngest a new pair of (vegan) school shoes! Kids today eh? Tomorrow it is Scarborough in the morning, then Hull again in the afternoon, so I can't come out to play till Tuesday! Humbug!!!
