Very nice and a creative way to get rid of an old set of gears while at the same time making them useful. Just wondering though, are you sure you don't need a few more hammers or picks?  :lol: :lol: Thanks for showing us this, it's great.  :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers  :beer:

Good extension of capacity, has the potential for toppling increased since having the top section grafted on though?

No tipping accidents so far, althogh I did have a hammer go flying across the shop when I spun the top too fast.

Don,

I like that - consider it stolen ;)


BTW I looked up the patent date on your sheet rollers: http://www.glennsplace.com/slip_roller.htm

The patent refers to the adjustable box bearing, filed by a Hail S Grannis on May 7 1889 for the Stow and Wilcox company of Southington Connecticut

I'd guess those rollers date from about the same era :)
