Used the drill that I have from my great uncle Walt's blacksmith shop in Roca Nebraska. Frame for it is made up from what I think is a Model T frame. The front cross member with the crank hole is at the bottom by the floor.
Converted it to an electric motor with a flat belt as it was originally run off a line shaft.
Still drills nice holes after all these years.

OSHA would love to see your drill press. I grew up wit one that was a hand crank including the down feed mechanism.
