I should have done this long ago but with the economy the way it is and all...

There is no substitute for the right tools... Either on stage or on the job.
Congratulations!! You got the blue one with the pocket too... slick!!
I have a grey one (from the 50's). A bit tattered, but it is 'vintage' ;) |

Location: South of most, North of few | Mike must have sold something to be able to afford such an upgrade. Good to see you reinvest in the shop. The returns will be worth it! |

I like dual-purpose equipment....You could probably use that workbench as a ironing board if you had to....
Which end are you going to mount the vise? |

Location: SoCal | I just came across this thread and it was timely. I just finished ironing 4 aloha shirts and was thinking of this very upgrade. Might have to sell something and just do it (one in, one out)..... |

Location: Corning, NY | I hate to rain on the parade, here, but you can't just go changing one of those from lefty to righty will-nilly like that without causing problems. Did you bother to check the bracing of the top to make sure it could handle the changing strains of both a new cover and orientation?
I'm just sayin'... |
