>Several months ago I bought an old Walker Turner bench style drill press from the Government Property Disposal Authority a the Savannah River Plant. I bought it sight unseen, but the price was right. I drove over to SRP to pick it up and when I saw it my heart sank. It was so beat up I don't think it would have made a good boat anchor, although it was certainly heavy enough. It was in several large pieces and, among other things, I had to remove a big dirt dauber wasp nest from inside it before I could load it in my car for the ride home. I didn't take any photos of it because I wasn't at all sure I could save it. But I took a shot of the table and the column last night, both of which I've replaced, so you can get some idea of what the thing looked like 3 months ago.
