Finally getting caught up a little bit. Had a short bout with the omicron variant on Christmas of all days. I had really bad headaches, dry cough with a tight chest and sinus pain. The headaches are gone and with medication prescribed by my nephew (he's a doctor here in Colombia) I'm doing fine.
I promised to show the new tools so here they are. Standard drill press although the motor is 350 Watt so, very nearly 1/2 hp instead of the normal 1/3 horsepower. It has the flimsy hollow column and I may or may not try to upgrade it. I do want to modify the spindle and I'll start that in another thread.
The rest is a box of regular stuff that was on sale. Variable speed, reversing hammer drill, circular saw and a jig saw. Really just wanted the drill but the price was really good.
Still working on my BIL to get some lumber worked up for the benches in the shop.
Interesting that these tools are branded Bauker and Horror Fright has a brand they call Bauer.
