Road side find

#1

So I'm headed to the dump driving past the pallet dump when I see this sitting there

A little work and it's an Excaliber Router Table.

I'm having a little problem getting the lift to work, but that shouldn't be too much a problem

Discretion forbids I discuss my roadside finds. But congrats. You can throw out the plywood monstrosity you copied from Fine woodworking now. 
I knew a guy that built a router table from flat pack Ikea. Extra helping of Swedish meat balls does it everytime. 
In one shop we had a router table set up just for buzzing edges with a bull nose. Made out of a slab of poplar. It worked.

My stove, dishwasher, and even kitchen sink were all from the dump which I refurbished. Now if I could just find a wife at my age that I could refurbish. :(

The lads and I love dump restorations.
One of my biker mates works at the dumpster tip. You would not believe the awesome shit people throw out.
We have all sorts of juicy finds in our sheds dude. 
I fixed a perfectly good washing machine. It just needed new brushes. Twenty dollar's down and its good as new. Gave it to my daughter. 
We are junk hounds. We fix all sorts.
I just got a smoker. 
Works fine. I've got so much good stuff that way. 
We love fixing. Fixing and the other thing too.

Trip to Florida golf course ? 
Wolskis tavern in Chicago ?
The waitresses at the country steak house ?
There has to be a way. Damn it man, don't give up. Somewhere out there is a diamond that needs a Mr Fix it.
