A lot of nice touches there. Very fine work.

That is some seriously nice work. Find a place to stamp your name and the year on it...100 years from now, someone will wonder who cared enough to build such a tool.

Well done!

Find a place to stamp your name and the year on it..

Don't forget to include the words 'made by' (or similar) just in case something thinks you merely owned this work of art

Outstanding! It's the little touches, like turning the splayed legs back to vertical, just before reaching the floor, pleases the eye and evident all over.

Brings a new meaning to "Homemade"
Nice work!
2nd on putting your name with "built by" on it.
Some of the nicest tools I own were "shop fabricated" by artisans long gone who but their signature on them
