Well the deal is done. I am now the proud owner of a Celette bench. Of course, handing over cash and hauling the thing home was the easy part. Now there is the stack of associated tools that I'll need in order to actually do something with my nice big hunk of metal. Plus it's in need of a little TLC, such as cleaning off the rusty parts, cleaning threads and lubricating everything.
Whew... it's been a long day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif) Attached image(s)

OK, now we need to get one of these in Scottyb's shop and one down south and we will have the country covered. There are some 914's that can use a second chance.
Congrads Mark! I'm sure it was a hard decision to invest the money. |

QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Feb 16 2011, 10:09 PM)  OK, now we need to get one of these in Scottyb's shop and one down south and we will have the country covered. How do you feel about copying the bench by local building. You make measurements and take some pix. Fixtures could also be built and duplicated. I've seen steel I beams used in headers that look like larger stock than the real bench. I might be able to arrange the welds to be made in an Argon environment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Seems to me something as big as a Cellette should not be lost. |
