I'm now starting to work on it. I finally got the wheel to turn. It is still a little tough to turn but it is turning with no squeaks. Yeah!! I'm going to work on it some more. After I get it turning smoothly I will take it out of its cabinet and buy a base box to put it in. The stand it self I will replace the top and repaint the medal legs and use it a table for it to sit on in my sewing room. That is once I rearrange it. There is only so much you can do with a 10x10 room. Thank goodness for walk in closet (which houses my 9 ft christmas tree).
