Well the deal on the table was sweetened yesterday, my buddy asked if I'd be willing to do some family photography work as a straight trade.........why certainly! Win-Win!
Spent most of the day working on the old slab cutting the legs down and installing the casters. Best part.......it's level! Finished height ended up at 24-7/8". Glad I used those oversized casters as I love the retro look and it rolls very easy easy considering the weight and dirty bearings and bushings in the casters.
When I have more time I'll tear them apart and clean and paint them International Tractor red.
