raven154 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Well finally got me one. My dad actually bought it for me for helping him around the house and helping him put his shop up. It's around 100 lbs but I need to weigh it to find its exact weight. Anyway, here it is. It is in awesome shape! My dad ha it blasted and painted the sides for me. Said I could strip it off if I wanted. He paid 425 or 450 for it at an auction today. I told him not to spend that much money on it but I'm glad he didn't listen!!!

raven154 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks for all the compliments guys! I'm pretty excited about it! As for the base, I have a big stump of oak I want to set it on. The stump is a little big but I think it will work out ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
