Good rehab project - mine is about due as well. Love the Shopsmith in the background! Brought mine home in the back of a 1982 Subaru Hatchback.

Great detailing

Funny enough I inherited my late father’s workmate which has warping in the wooden pieces so your video will be more than useful.

Why not use a template router bit to copy the dimensions/locations of the holes, instead of drilling?

Guess that would work well also. Would have to make some deep cuts. Thanks!

I have original paperwork and parts list as well.
