I can't help but see its flaws! MEDIOCRE!
Its a good base for the meantime. I was searching old industrial parts. I have yet to ID it.
glorious build...there needs to be a run of these
Thanks, will try a few options tomorrow. Mine's close to done, and was hoping to finish today, but today ended. Did get a little further on this project as well.View attachment 487655
I think it's hit the "close enough" point until we locate the base. My base is an old cast iron weight bar collar. My best guesses for the actual base are either: the yoke on an antique floor jack, (think "UP"), or an antique throw-out bearing from a transmission, (more probable). Still searching for a close one of either. Yes, that's a garden fork/rake on the mask. I bought 2 off eBay to try out, and they were closer than I'd hoped.Is that a hand fork!?
