Back in 1970, while preparing to attend an automotive school, I went to the local Sears store and purchased my first set of serious tools. I still have most of them and use them, although sparingly to this day. The quality of tools back then was much better than what we have today.

Here are some photos of the finished product. It functions perfectly. An additional $50 in paint and an $11 3/4 square impact socket from Amazon to break the leveling studs loose. I cut down grade eight bolts into axle pins with cotter pin retainers. Shimmed the casters with stainless washers. 1000 lb capacity. I’ve considered building a layered gear round top to use it as a poolside beverage table when not in functional use….

Last year my Dad's Black and Decker skill saw, the adjustment broke. It is older than me I believe, will have to take a look for a date. Dad used that saw for years as Carpenter. I have his 3/4" Grey hand tools, made in Canada, good stuff.
