Interesting find. A little hand powered drill press. Have never seen one of that or similar design.
I do have one of the regular egg beater style hand drills though. As well as my dads hand crank drill press. The old drill press probably need re bushed a lot of play in it these days.

Hi KVR3000,
I bought one of those drill stands a few years ago. I have no intention of using it, I just thought it was so cute that I could not resist buying it. Now if only I could remember where i put it?
Seem to recall it was a pound or two from a second hand tool shop, how much did you pay?

You did well, I see there's one on ebay now, but they want a bit more for it.

Holy S**t!
Who is the deluded one, the one asking the price or the sucker who would be willing to pay it.

It looks like it has been left out in the rain to make it look older than it really is. I would guess that they were made in the Fifties or possibly pre-war, so "antique" is a bit of a false description.

If the one on Fee-Pay goes for that sort of sum and any of you are miffed at loosing out, do let me know as I might be willing to part with mine if the price is right.

[krv3000]

I don't think it will go for that but i will not mod this one till i see haw much it gos for

 

[Ned Ludd]

I see that with less than a day to go there are no bids on the Fee-Pay stand. I think that goes to show that you can't fool all of the people some of the time. :big:
