Jim Coke Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Greetings Matto, Great lookin bench top drill... I have restored many post drills and use them a lot. Enclosed pictures of 2 bench tops I made up for a friend to use when he does demos.. Great for kids to keep them busy.. Green one a cole ( my favorite ) mounted with an old pulley for a base.. The other is a Champion 108 top section with a custom mount . Lots of fun... Background a Champion just finished... Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Never thought about mounting one of my post drills that way. I like it. My demo one fits into a receiver on my table. I can't wait to get this one rebuilt. It is the first I have seen like it and the first in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
