Old arn pic thread

Here's a before picture on my jointer seeing I didn't notice any art deco bases, don't have any good after shots due to lack of room.

Had this before I had to upgrade

Got a few more OWWM but they were NWWM when I bought them.

An old early 20th century Buffalo Forge hand cranked drill press. I removed the rust and cleaned it but didn't do any more restoration than that and re lubricating it.




I also machined a chuck mount and chuck to fit into the original Sliver and Deming style chuck. This drill does work... but slowly. It is self plunging.

Brad, thanks for your thoughts.

Not a tool per se, but a motor for one. Early 20th century repulsion-start, induction-run made by Century. It's in line for restoration, but I don't know if I'll ever get to it. Too many other things demanding my time. Runs fine, though it's a bit rough looking.





Kinda big for 1 hp, compared to the 1 hp Baldor sitting next to it.

SWEET ! You have got to love Walker Turner machines.

Restored this a few years ago and have been adding little extras over the years. Nicknamed the drill press of death.

Hey Tom....What is it about this repulsion-start induction-run that makes it desirable? How was it better?

Hey, a Boice-Crane Helmet Head drill press! Literally, that was their name. Not many around, I got one once, single most hideous machine I've ever had. No offense, 2Beast, that's a nice looking one. Nothing like the one I was given. They are seriously heavy 15" machines.
