Do you bench press the "bench" grinder? How stable is it with those spindly legs? i have mine bolted to a concrete floor on what is essentially a 4" steel pipe as the support. It makes the whole shop vibrate lol.

No lol I had no where else to put it
It's pretty stable. More stable than the stupid plastic drawer tower it was atop before. The legs are galvanized pipe nipples... Pretty strong.

Yes, essentially. Lol.

I'm happy with it. I can take it out of the garage so I don't need to vacuum and I have more space and all that.
Fine, if that didn't please you...
Mwuahahahah

Anyone recommend any good WW2 books?
Hornet Flight by Ken Follet. An exciting read

I prefer non-fiction although I did used to read Jack Higgins when I was younger as he had some decent WW2 novels.
One of the good things about non-fiction books, the quotes:
"At one stage I stopped for a moment to see how things were going and a Hun dropped not ten feet away. I had my pistol in my hand and without really knowing what I was doing I let him have it while he was still on the ground. I hardly got over the shock when another came down almost on top of me and I plugged him too while he was untangling himself. Not cricket, I know, but there it is" - a New Zealand captain serving in Crete.
Only someone of the Commonwealth would describe shooting two defenceless, tangled soldiers as "not cricket" and then move on with things
Edit: Thanks JSR, will check them out when my broadband usage rolls over this week.

Fallschirmjäger dropped with their weapons in separate canisters, tragic.

In the sense that it was a waste of life, indeed. What was Student thinking?
Not that it would have made much difference to the actual battle as the island was lost anyway.
