This has been a long ride.
About 5 years ago, I bought this sad sack off of CL for $20:
I went through the disassembly:
And realized one of the handwheels was not original and the other one was broken. So a set of handwheels was bought from Grizzly and machined to fit:
And after a significant delay, the rehab began in earnest. I treated all the internals with evaporust and then painted everything up:
Once the paint was dry, it was reassembled:
At this stage, I decided I wanted a base for the unit that looked like this:
So first came the base:
Which was painted and the saw mounted:
And after another long time, the remainder was built and the final product looks like this:
So over 5 years from start to finish and a solid year on the actual rehab itself.
Whew. I think I'm about rehabbed out, for now
