Drill Stand

Sorry for the mass upload this morning, but we have been in Sydney for a couple of days.

Today's rust photo is of a drill stand at a museum in Gilgandra. I don't think you will find one of these in Bunnings any more!

Wow, that would drill some serious holes. Great capture and find.

[Deb]

That is one impressive drill. Great find for your rust theme.

Hubby has a similar drill stand in his shed in working order, great image :-)

[Kane Arlow]

I'm glad that they don't make them like that anymore. It looks like a lot of work :-)

[Ilona]

very interesting shot, great capture :)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Love this shot - there is some very interesting items of bye-gone days in these museums

[Jane Morley]

Where DO you find all this rust? ! Some terrific shots Babs .

[Peter]

Beautiful image in great detail Babs, love the strong light and shadows, great to see historical engineering, keep up the good work;)

[Lois]

Looks like it was used for very hard work! Great find!

[Laurie F]

nice old find

[Babs]

@hermann Wow that would be amazing. David has got quite a lot of tools which belonged to my Great Uncle Tom dating back to the early 1900s and he still uses them.

[Babs]

@chimfa There is a lot of junk lying around in Australia.

@dianeburns @dgrynn @karlow75 @ibt @beryl @pcoulson @loweygrace @lafish Thanks so much.

[Kathie]

Wow. That's a serious made to last drill. Bet you can't break that. :)

[Marnie]

Probably not, but they'd likely put it on back-order for you - just don't hold your breath on the actuality! Love this old machinery, nothing flimsy about that machine.

@kathiecb Thanks Kathie. You are probably right. God knows how old it is. It still works too

[Babs]

@golftragic Thanks Marnie. Not exactly portable is it.
