Man I've been looking forward to this! 3 years of slow but steady work (I was using it while restoring it). I'm especially proud of the red detail work on the dials and handles.

Here's my 1954 Mark 5 (SN. 263705) with a full restoration and PowerPro upgrade. I have some of the period-specific SPTs similarly restored (bandsaw, jointer, sprayer) with a couple others expected to be completed this year (jigsaw, belt sander). Not a bad color match for the 1954 brochure!

I wish they never got away from that color scheme.

Hi John, beautiful work. I got a 10ER from you a year or so ago. Is that the Greenie you had back then? I was impressed then with paint work you had done, like to find out how to do that some day. Great stuff, hope to see you again some time.
