    Default Someone please save this old drill.

    This is the second time that this has come up and no one seems to want it. Nice original paint and no drilled-out table. I'd have it in an instant if it was closer.

    What a woos, I drove from Melbourne to the Entrance for my jointer. OK her indoors suffers from cabin feaver every so often, so a nice drive picks up the dinner menu no end. Table saw came from Sydney. So next big buy is west. Ill be eating high on the hog if I buy a descent tool in Perth.

    Now if it was a Dawn hand cranked drill press, THEN I'd be looking into bus and train fares - they will drill thru' almost anything.

    Oooh Errr! Yes and you have the chuck too, which was one of the first parts to go missing from what I've seen.

    I see the old drill found a new owner proving that there is at least one person of discernment and good taste living in Melbourne.

    Most of the good old stuff seems to be in Victoria - must be a lot of old factories etc shutting down there.
