I recently picked up a 1956 or 1957 greenie. It's not in horrible shape, but needs some work. One possible issue I have is the Carriage Stop Ring. It is intact with no cracks. I cleaned and waxed it. However, it barely slides across the way tubes. I have gotten both the headstock and the carriage to...

Wish I could be of more help than just saying that it's looking good, but..Looking Good!

I am going to have a pause on this project. My planer (DW735) threw a chain and it broke two links. It is an older model I bought used and abused a few years ago. I will repair it and hand it off to my son. In the meantime I ordered a new one from Home Depot. With military discount it was $540. That...

I ordered the hardware; an aluminum piece 36" in diameter and rated for 850 lb. I have some ideas on how to mount it but I guess I'll have to wait until it arrives so I can really see how it works. In the meantime, I glued up all my sections (90 of them) into groups of 5 and now have 18 section...

Thankyou. I need to remember to take horizontal photos... This will be a slow project but I will update as I go. RIght now I am fighting time with my initial glue-up. I want to get 18 sections of 5 pieces each before the wood starts to bow. Just found the SS biscuit joiner in a box, complete with or...
