Vintage Canedy-Otto hand-cranked post beam drill press - GIF

[gatz]

As a young kid in the late 50's (about 8 or 10), my grand-dad had a drill press exactly like that one.
It was out in a building on his farm; which also served as a pig barn.
I spent a lot of time cranking that thing.........with nothing on the table; I just liked to see things spin.
The pawl and ratchet was fascinating to watch, too. Could've been the same brand, IDK.
