So many of you have read my opinions on making machine stands out of wood, I still stand by the opinion that if you can make a stand from metal you should do that. Still, I don't have a welder out here yet. And, I'm cheap so always on the lookout for suitable stuff on Craigslist....
I've been on the lookout for a good stand for the Rockwell Unidrill I recently acquired and was just about to break down and build something out of wood when what should pop up on Craigs but this baby. Now I did have to cut one side of the wheels off, and wrestle it down about 60 steps but I think it was worth it. The guy I got it from says his dad built it for reloading shotgun shells and he's older than I am so it probably makes it about the same vintage as my dad's workbench in the background there. Yes, all those drawers fit into three sides of this thing.
Score
This is what will go on top of it.
