My dad said it's one of the oldest things here and was originally part of the risers for the San Francisco chorus that we converted to a workbench. It's not rock solid, but if anyone wants it, come and geddit! 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 964 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Friday, June 05, 2009 - 6:02 am:    An Alembic workbench -- that has got to make its way into someone's world. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2471 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, June 05, 2009 - 6:12 am:    If I lived closer I'd have already been there tp pick it up.
