    An artist's imagination, an engineer's practicality of design, metalworking, finish carpentry, and shop mechanics all come together to not only look beautiful but work beautifully. Well done!
    Thanks! Made my morning.

    I know it is two years ago, but I just saw this for the first time. I thought the restored jack looked very nice. Then, of course, you made an adjustable table with it, which I think looks amazing! It is a very nice style and would look good anywhere from a garage or workshop to something classy like a gentleman's den. Top notch work!

    I just love the old fashioned way of arc welding. I was taught the most about arc welding back in 9th grade as a high schooler. Wasn't taught much of mig welding though. Just the fact you gotta knock off the flux with a hammer and wire brush after welding lol
