    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!

    First; the jack was an excellent quality find and even better restoration! The wood repair, gluing screws and bluing the important parts...First Cabin!! I love that it had a horizontal tab for a toe jack! Adding it to a desk with an amazing Oak top and making it adjustable height Really Made it Sing vintage. Over the top in quality stick welds and engineering design...strong stable and highly functional...best of all worlds, new and old! Thank You for sharing your great work and fine videography!

    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
