My Grizzly G9742 miter bandsaw.
Over the last few years I have custom made some Aluminum adjustment knobs, bought and mounted an aluminum vise handwheel, made a new steel table plate for when using it vertically.
And just a couple days ago, mounted up the 1hp DC variable speed motor that's been gathering dust since I built my G0704 cnc mill a decade ago and built a control box/panel for it.
Edited to add: A non sequitur, but cool nonetheless. I just remembered after uploading the pics, the upper knurled knob that holds the hydraulic downfeed cylinder in place, in the bottom pic next to the downfeed adjustment knob, was made from the stump from a Krieger .30 cal barrel blank that I chambered around 2018ish. You can just see the rifling lands and grooves inside the center hole.
