18 Inches Off Tubes

Post by mbcabinetmaker »

Bill I just took one end off and cut 18 inches off all 4 tubes and put it back together. I read one of your past post and thought that would be a good size. I like having the table left if I want to use it. Most importantly that was the size that fit the space where I wanted to put it. It is easier to parallel park as well :D .

Nifty little machine, MB! And for sure - parallel parking is one of the major considerations.

Nice looking shop, Mark. It looks like your cabinet making is done professionally. I hope that you keep us informed of how your Mark V performs, and how often you turn to it for your projects. Thanks for sharing.

Must have had a pretty good running start to crunch it up like that.:)
I have to take mine apart and clean them up - they've been in storage in someone's garage for about 20 years.

Cool pic.
