Well... while my wife was out of the house on Black Friday, leaving around 4AM, I had a casual breakfast out with the kids, and then we went scouring the thrift stores in the area!! EVERYTHING in the stores was 50% off the already low prices... Found a few things for the kids (brand new PSP NBA BBall game for $7.50!, etc...) and then came across this rolling kitchen butcher-block table. Picked it up for $25.00, and put it to MUCH better use! I LOVE shopping at thrift stores!!

Everything is bolted down, and I just need to pick up a power strip so I can neatly run all the plugs. Pretty sweet having all this equipment accessible, and portable to boot! Really freed up some space in the garage too. Room now to get my 30's vintage Atlas lathe restored and operational!!

You almost got yourself a free-standing drill press there now! Doesn't that make the table a little top-heavy?

Looks pretty good!
