Having been married 24 years now I can say that ending that statement with "and some milk" will make the first part sit a lot better with one's spouse...

Glenn, this started out as a swap, but ended up that the guy decided that he really didn't need, nor have room for his 150 pound Trenton or his 5 inch leg vice, Or the 16 pound sledge that he had. So instead of trading, he gave them to me FREE!! I'm serious! I just don't get that lucky. But I did this time. I am going to make him a knife and a couple of other items that he finally told me that he would like to have. Total value, less that $40.The anvil is 27 1/2 inches from tip of horn to back of face, has a 7/8 inch hardy hole, a 1/2inch pritchel hole and a 9/16 inch pritchel hole. Anybody got any info on why it would have two pritchel holes?

I got a drill press from a woman who just wanted it out of her garage. It's a standing press, and weighs (I kid not) about three hundred pounds. It is one HEAVY piece of solidly made tool. There is quite a bit of rust on the lower parts (the table and below), but everything still spins smoothly and it even has the old electric motor! It has variable speeds through a series of pulleys. The head is in excellent shape and it still has the chuck in place. And it still works as well. I'm glad it's nice, because it was a bear for my girlfriend and I to load into the back of her Montero!
