Looks like Dick also was correct. Look how high they made the trousers back then.

Re: One Question remains a mystery
In the last add pic, look at how long his forearms are also, and the size of his hands and length of his fingers, he is a tall man. June Cleaver's sister is his wife!!!!

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Are you trying to insinuate that Nick (and I) are height challenged?dusty wrote:
...However, it sure is misleading. If they had used Nick in that photo, it would have been more real world.
One more thing. I LIKE a Model 10 to be at least 4 inches higher, maybe 6,
for lathe work. I prefer the spindle height to be the same as my elbow height.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Re: One Question remains a mystery
What I want to know is, why can't our wives be thrilled when we purchase a new machine these days, the way they were back in the 1950's?

Re: One Question remains a mystery
I did not mean to insinuate anything. I was trying to say that Nick is short. Even I am taller than Nick. My Main Table when setup to cut 3/4" lumber hits me at about stomach level. I would like for it to me about waist level.skou wrote:Are you trying to insinuate that Nick (and I) are height challenged?dusty wrote:

Re: One Question remains a mystery
Being one of those "stomach level" guys myself, I'm happy with that because never had anything else.
One thing I learned a long time ago is; I don't have to duck as much as taller guys when walking in dense woods Could even go under some downfall rather than trying to go over them.

Could even go under some downfall rather than trying to go over them. Octogenarian's have an earned right to be a curmudgeon.
