Within a few days of getting my yellow VP it opened in my pocket, fell out of my pocket while getting out of my car, and landed nib first on the street which just trashed the nib. My wallet was hurting that week.

Got the lansing. At the time there was a sale that brought it down to $850 so it was cheaper than just the base! I do plan to commission a custom top, but I haven't gotten around to it, so I'm still using the powder coat eco top.

Thanks. I imagine these are from the 60’s or 70’s.

Our front load SQ will vibrate the house with a full load sitting in six inches of concrete. Isolation pads are a must.

I fully support the secondhand / picker acquisition methods, but would suggest taking it directly to a rug cleaner. Rich people get bugs too.

Did you make your own top?

This group is about high quality items worth the price.

I can see how a work bench like that might be useful, but I don't want to have to hand crank my desk every day

The top one is quite beautiful. If you ever want to know the cost of a top of the range hanger look in The Rake magazine and make an enquiry.

Can anyone recommend a BIFL fine point ink pen? I love the Pilot G2 0.38mm which is about the perfect width. It just seems like most BIFL pens are much wider than that

Reply to Wondering if anyone could give me recommendations or point me in the right direction when looking at gas ranges? by OriginalKid

Induction is tremendously expensive to repair, it is a trending concept but absolutely not a BIFL appliance type.

How are yall paying $3,000 for a desk?

For under $400, HomeDepot sells a "workbench" desk ( designed to be hammered on and beat on and abused ) sturdier than any commercial desk I've used at work. The manual crank is super easy and fast to use - even under great load. I used my rough carpentry skills to modify workbench desk to add monitors and under desk peripheral storage.
