LOL, I have a hard time remembering yesterday sometimes.

I have a weakness for vises, stupid I know. I'm restoring a Wilton Baby bullet and another Columbian currently. Love how slow you can wind that DP down and do some metal work. The deco look is a bonus for sure.

Thanks Craig.

BIG, I get your "weakness for vises". I have a few different ones too, like unusual Mallory dizzies, coils, CDI, capacitors, etc .

Ain't that right McGyver (whether we admit it or not [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img])!

Cleaned up the Niehoff cabinet and installed it and put up some more shelving. I will be ordering my 4 post lift soon.

Great looking Niehoff cabinet! I have a Holley that is similar and added some old skool file drawers to the inside. They sit on the shelves, but make storing small items easy.

I'd post a pic, but my phone still won't let me ... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

Yeah Big, I'm still having same problems loading photos from my iphone or ipad, even since updating to latest ios this week - Arrrggghh!

Any way, one of my goals for the shop (directly associated with my OCD tendencies [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]) is to have all (most) of my cabinets, shelves, machines, tables, etc. on wheels so that clean up is easier to do. I retrofitted a simple design (no welding required) to incorporate wheels to this vintage cabinet. I needed short wheels due to tight overhead space beneath the shelves which resulted in a lower load capacity for each wheel. So I added an extra set of wheels for a total of 6 wheels at a load capacity of 80lbs per wheel. I will be putting some heavy items in this cabinet, so 480lb capacity should do the trick (the cabinet is heavy by itself) ...

Super idea ...
