Thanks for the comments.
Actually I didnt mind it too much but because of the shape it was in when I bought it, I had no choice. The guys father had not cleaned it or removed the saw dust from it in decades, literally. Some of the saw dust I removed was harder than any wood I have ever seen or used. It was more like hard plastic. So after removing all of that it was pretty scarred up so I had to sand and repaint it. I went with the grey since most of them are grey now.

Yeah its a slow process and after having had most of my stuff stored for years due to my military time I have a lot of stuff to replace too. I am currently working on an Oak sideboard for my wife and that is turning out to be a challenge due to my limited shop. My circular saw burned up while I was rough cutting the pieces for it so I now have to replace that. I also found out my miter guage on the table saw is less than square. Due to the way the tablesaw insert is made I have to use a crosscut sled in order to have a zero clearance cut surface. Oh and I have to make that too. So as time goes by and as the need arises the shop will expand.
