Tom,
It's great to see your grandfather's legacy live on. Too often the old tried-and-true tools and machines get cast aside and deteriorate into uselessness. Nice work in preserving this collection.

It is a good thing that you have passion in the same field as your late grandfather. All you need to do is mild restoration of the antique workstation and you are good to go. It is not easy to start from scratch but you already have a lead since your beloved grandfather left such a priceless piece of treasure for you.
