That is an absolutely gorgeous restoration effort. Someone is going to be very lucky to have it in their shop.

Agree, I saw this unit in person (Phil and I are neighbors) and it is better than new. I’d be all over it if I hadn’t just bought the same unit a few weeks ago and wish I hadn’t so I could buy Phil’s. The level of detail he puts in to his restorations is second to none.

I came to a stop sign and a skanky tweaker chick in a tube top climbed out of the brush and propositioned me. She looked like she didn't have any teeth so I counted that as a plus.

I’m hoping Kevin can drive it to Indiana for me ??? I’d be tickled to utilize that jointer.

Hey John!! I should’ve driven out to buy that Conover lathe from you! Hope all is well.
And this is such a nice jointer and super handy for putting a quick edge on most wood anyone would work.

Thanks for the kudos! This build went so well that I decided to build another one, but this time I installed a Byrd SHELIX cutter head. I still need to order the motor pulley and belt, but it's essentially done. And I am done with machine restoration for a while: back to making sawdust.
