That's outstanding! I see you have made some modifications to it.

Thanks Ann. But, I can't take credit. I should have mentioned that it's not mine. Duly noted above.

Wow a lot of elbow grease went into that.

I rebuilt a couple of lathes but just to the point of being able to use them.

Wow, that is nice!

That is a fine machine.

The last time I used a shaper was in High School shop. When I made a drill press vise in 1974. I still use that vise on a regular basis.

Very nice!

I have a huge OLD 18" 3 phase table saw in
about the same condition as the first picture.
Needs a new home.

Has a label on the stand: 1836. Am sure that's
the date the factory was started. I saved this
from ruin by a farmer that was going to use it
as a welding table. Bet in all it'll weigh 800lbs.

Never done anything with it other than move it twice.

I wish I could have inherited all of my Grandfathers Delta woodworking machines from his shop, but he passed when I was 12 + so the timing was not right. I did get a lot of old "Deltagram" monthly magazines from that company from the 30s + 40s.
