A Great Addition to your Shop!
In my opinion, Raymond Head knocked it out of the ballpark when he "invented" the economical hydraulic welding table idea because it covers several key points that everybody seems to need.
Firstly, they are small. Some will complain that they're too small, but that really depends on what you're making. If you don't have a lot of room but want to be able to weld, a hydraulic cart is the perfect solution and is far better than the lightweight, fold-away welding tables that you can buy.
Secondly, there's mobility. If you don't want the table in the middle of your garage.... just roll it into a corner.
Third, while being able to raise and lower your work so you can weld in a comfortable position is nice.... what really makes these carts jump out ahead of the pack in my estimation, is just being able to use them for other things. If you need to unload heavy things from your truck... the cart is ready-made for that. Need to work on your lawnmower, the cart is ideal as a small bench that allows you to get to every part of the engine without any fuss. As a blacksmith, I can say with certainty that one of these would be really nice to have so I'm not stuck trying to freehand the 200# propane tank off the back of my truck every time I get it refilled!
Plus, being "multi-purpose" like that makes it a lot easier to sell the idea to the missus. ;)

The drill press is probably one of the most useful tools to have in the shop, and one that I use more than I would ever have imagined! To make it an even more versatile tool for the shop, when we reach this goal, we will add the excellent table made by Fireball Tools, or by shop for a vintage drill press that has better features, including a larger table.
The addition of a larger table would allow for fixturing, the placement of jigs and fences, as well as supporting larger pieces. The drill press extension table sold by Fireball Tools is designed with the small shop in mind.
Of course, if you're following along here at Three Rivers Forge, I'm sure you have the same passion for old tools that I do. Adding something like a Walker Turner radial arm drill press to the shop would be an amazing step forward. I can't say if one will be available at the time, or if it'll be available at a price I can afford, but I will certainly consider it an option.
Small bricks build big walls, and little additions to the shop can make a tremendous difference in speed, efficiency, and design capabilities, as well as the overall ambience. Thank you for seeing the potential. Thank you for joining the team!
