Re: Gallery of Restorations
I have mentioned in a previous post here about needing to finish the restoration of my Model 10E S/N 1076 but have neglected to post it here. Some of you may recall seeing it in other threads. Below it is shown with Model 10E S/N 1077 both restored on their matching benches.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Beautiful restorations and the caster set up is very cool.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
LOL, I truly appreciate things as they are originally intended… but if I picked up a deuce coupe in bad shape I’m afraid it would end up as a rat rod. :-)

I was referring to the cool caster setup.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
I know, as was I. Sometimes fixing things that aren’t broken is a hobby of mine.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
I have been working on my 1956 or 1957 greenie. I completely rebuilt the headstock with upgrades to a 1 1/8hp motor, poly v drive and two bearing quill. This headstock rebuild included new paint from ShopSmith; light and dark green.
However.... It appears there are 3 shades of green. It looks to me like the headstock casting is the only thing that is "light green". The belt cover, carriage and both ends that hold the bench and way tubes are the "dark green."
The legs seem to be an even darker green. I scoured this entire thread looking for a photo that replicated what I am seeing on my Mk V, but cant find anything. There were ALOT of great looking machines!!
It looks like most folks who have repainted greenies keep the legs the same color as the belt cover, etc.
Can anyone advise on why the legs seem darker? If the paint was in better condition I would consider leaving it as is; but it is rust pitted. I am reluctant to use anything but ShopSmith supplied paints.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Congrats on undertaking a great project! Yeah, the old Greenies tend to have a couple of distinct issues with the aging original dark green paint - it does appear to darken on the legs (I think that’s an artifact of the sheet steel construction experiencing some sort of surface corrosion), and it tends to flake off most of the other surfaces (they’re cast aluminum that won’t rust, but that also won’t adhere paint well…).
The legs should be the same color as the bench end castings, if you want to go for an “as-original” look. I did ‘54 restoration with Rustoleum Hammered Verde Green, which matches the original ‘54 brochure colors very well!
Here’s a link to some shots of my project:

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Thanks. That makes alot of sense. When done, I want it to have a 510 carriage and a universal tool rest. It will become a permanent lathe, with my 1998 520 doing everything else. The headstock was (for me) the hardest part.
