Here is the form for adding and starting post Now I must start working on this one. Pictures will be forthcoming. DOWeaver Indy

Here are some pictures of parts, so we can see what we are dealing with.The saw dust and oil and grease looked like welding slag when cleaning started. As picture shows the steel exten table was used as a finishing table, it will need stripped and cleaned. Some of the parts had numbers others had just an (A). I can't remember what (Russ) said about that ? Change over to new parts #. I have lots more Pictures coming during rebuild. Cheery buy DOWeaver Indy

First question of rebuild. I have decided to build with jointer in place. Got the bench that this one was on when I picked it up. The foot prints are for the round end , And has the longer center board so the jointer rests upsidedown when not in use. Question will someone show a picture of how the planer, the tie bar, the headstock support (for planer) all goes together ? Having trouble with the hold-down knob and how this all goes together.

In your second post you commented,

You are referring to the casting mark found on the Motor Mount and the Lathe Tool Rest above. I do not know the reason for that mark. I have talked about the part number change that occurred in November 1951 and that it took some time for the new numbers to show up on parts.

You posted about the Jointer for your Shopsmith. I have one for my Model 10ER but I do not keep it mounted when it is not going to be in use for a project. On mine while flipped upside down it does not rest on the bench. For storage I made a stand with a cut out for the bracket to go through and the adjustment handle to clear. I don't have a picture of the Jointer on the 10ER flipped out of the way. I'll try to do that the next time I have it mounted on the 10ER. Below is a picture of it sitting on it's stand with my Jig Saw on it's stand behind it.
Do remember to remove the blade guard before flipping the Jointer upside down so it doesn't fall off and get damaged unless the guard has been upgraded and bolts on.

Here are some update photos How do you think its going ? here are way tubes before and after Some of the progress I am working on the headstock and getting new bearings. All for now DOW INDY

I like the color. It is a nice contrast to the bare metal parts. An interesting thing I noted is you have the fence for the wood extension table with the rear lock add on and not one of the metal extension table fence versions.

I agree with Russ. I really like this color combination too. Makes me want to go out and get a 10ER to restore and copy your design...the look of bare metal next to that shade of blue looks really good (IMHO).

Russ : I'm a little lost on your comment? I have the wooden extension table and bracket. And the table in the picture is the pot iron one, with the shortbracket. Now as for the fence after you put on the new rear lock bracket you dont use the wooden extension ? The holes for the bolts and wing nuts are filled with bolts for rear lock bracket? DOWeaver INDY TY As for the color it is the true color ! If you dont think so wait 70 years and I will post pictures after sun, greese, saw dust and general where and tear change the blue to turquoise gray. he he he ..I like the contrast of color also with the bare medal . also as far as color goes , it seems that the spring houseing for the quill has a silver white color of paint. rfguy : TY also for the very kind words
