New Workshop Toy

A friend's brother was giving away their drill stand, my friend put their hand up with me in mind, I scored. Giving away. No money! It's not perfect, a broken worktable lifting crank, but I can probably print a replacement, probably a crank wheel, rather than a crank handle, for finer control. It may need new belts.

This is a proper workshop tool, not a handyman piece of junk. This lifts my capabilities to some basic milling jobs, like slot holes for making adjustable brackets or facing/rebating aluminium bar and rod. The work height range is huge - I'll need a new rolling bench, but I'll be able to build that from a 1200x1200 ply sheet with material spare.

Christmas has come early!
