Thanks Bruce, thanks Charlie.
I intend to keep updating but my progress will likely be pretty
slow.
Cheers
Bill

😂 thanks for the update Bill! Always good to hear from
you.

Nice one Bill ...... a multitool like that would be the cat's
meow in most any hobbyist's workshop!
Glad you are bringing this little wonder back to life for us all
to enjoy!!!

Hi all
My second cam works pretty well, I've made a couple of test cuts
with the scroll saw, a 1/8" thick piece of hard pine salvaged
from a 100+ year old piano, cut pretty well.
although a bit slow going as the big pulley turns the spindle at
a rather low speed.
[attachimg=1]
My next steps will be to set up my de-rusting station, clean up
the scroll saw and do a little painting.
Here are a few of the other major attachments that still need
some work.
Disc sander
[attachimg=2]
Picture is out of order but here is the cam I made
[attachimg=3]
and the milling attachment
[attachimg=4]
This is the drum sander
[attachimg=5]
Cheers
Bill

Bill, that machine is so cool! [attachimg=1] Such a rare item,
and you're doing a beautiful job with it. There was a time in my
life when I would have given anything to have a machine like
that. (Who am I kidding? I still want one!)

Thanks for the comments Nick, Gil, Charlie Bruce and Paula.
I've cleaned up some of the rust and grime from the steel parts.
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
And started painting the casting,
[attachimg=3]
got to hit the other side again and I'll reassemble.
There are still plenty more parts to clean and paint but I'm
whittling it down.
Cheers.
Bill
