This is the only tool picture I have that comes to mind - and it was posting it on APForum in 2018 that told me what it was.

I started searching on the names of tools.  "Drill" threw up this awful composition about a Startrite pillar drill that has seen better days.

The frame before was a bandsaw of years ago which looks as if it were a fearsomely dangerous bit of kit, lacking any kind of blade cover.

Which reminds me of one of the first digital pictures I ever took and the discovery that you could change ISO settings between frames and handhold for 1/20s !  The focal length was 84 mm - Canon 5D and 24-105 L IS - and the year was 2007.  I was otherwise using a 6x6 film camera.  Fretsaw and morticer I think.

I know someone that does amazing work on RC boats using one of the Emco Unimats though I think his has more mods than Brighton seafront on a bank holiday.
