Just got the Porter Cable drill press Lowes sells. Internet peeps seem to think it's a good value, and so far I agree. Still putting it together, about to put the arbor on the chuck, never done that before, pretty cool, the way that works.
I just put some paste wax on the column, figured it would be good to do before I put the drill on. Seems like every drill press I've seen irl has a ton of rust on all the exposed metal.
Guy at Lowes had to get someone to use a big forklift to get me a drill from the top shelf like 15 feet up. As it came down, something about the way my sister and me looked must have convinced this guy that we had no way of getting it home, because he kept asking about our car. Had a good laugh as my sister messed with him.
"Oh yeah, you're right, I didn't think of that. Put it back I guess."
"... Are you guys for real?" Look on his face like, I can't believe this shit.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No, really, it'll fit, we measured, and we've already moved something bigger than this today."
Earlier that day we went and got a kitchen table set from someone on craigslist. Good day.
I've got this Toyota Matrix, a 4 door hatchback car, but the seats fold down for a pretty good sized area to haul things. Recently moved literally everything I own in it across the country. I guess my point being squeezing every square inch of space out of the inside of this car is a point of pride for me.
