This looks like one awesome piece! Never saw one before-I know nothing about it or the seller, just thought it is share worthy.

If it were closer I would get it for cool value.

Looks funky to use alone, perhaps a two man unit?

Looks like it should be mounted on a Pirate ship.  Steering and torture in one spot.  I have a tiny version of that by Lion

I'd go look just to out of curiosity but it's 1 1/2 hrs away. Wish he had posted the size or had something in the pcs for scale.

I did not know that there was an Emmerts Patternmakers Vise and Lion Trimmer Hunters Blog website.

From that link:
Quote: I can't begin to tell you how excited I am at the sight of this Oliver Universal N0. 3 Mitre Trimmer for sale! Oliver Machinery Early History shows that this trimmer is incredibly rare and was likely produced between the years of 1897-98 by American Machinery Co. Unlike all of the other miter trimmers on this blog to date the #3 uses a large "Ships Wheel" rather than a lever. This trimmer has been beautiful restored and I suggest you keep an eye on this one, because it will sell for a tremendous price! Auction ends Jan 12th 2007. The trimmer is in the Chestertown, MD area.

Wow that thing weighting it at 500 lbs and looks like it is 4' tall and looks like it would take care of a 2x4 easy
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.
