    This is a perfect example of renovating an old device to re-use it for a modern purpose. Well done.

    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!
