Those are small. The Table on mine will be 14 X 14 inches. It will be over 17 inches Tall. Nice though. I believe both are available as castings?

Those are both available as castings. I like the design of the second one. I originally wanted to cast my own design but I ended up building mine from an old bench top drill press since I am not set up to cast iron.

Following along for sure. I never knew I needed a filer until I saw one in action. Thanks for the detailed build thread.
