Newest old tool for the shop, Will Weld Manufacturing Co. AC machine and a Missing Link high freq box on top. Cant find a thing about Will Weld mfg online, its a local Omaha company from some time in the past. If anyone has a clue concerning these machines please chime in, otherwise I'll just...

This popped up locally and piqued my interest, google gives me nothing at all but even incomplete it looks like a hefty old spot welder to me. Obviously pre war. A product of the midwest and interesting to look at, I wouldnt pay more than a pittance for it but it might loom cool enough to stick...

Picked this up, the base will be used for the drill press with a little work. I had settled on building a sturdy wooden base for the drill but I just prefer metal and I can justify it further because I need every bit of storage I can get! A chunky wood base will certainly give up space relative...

Well...got this for $20 I mostly got it for the stand, I'll use that for my drill press when its back together. Also another old electric motor is always nice to have around, the saw though I dont know if I will keep it. Its a basic as you can get Dunlap so Im not worried about wrecking a...

Damn, thats stout enough to be a small mill. I could certainly make room were it a thousand miles nearer. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Is anybody else getting many duplicate posts loading into this thread? My last post was duplicated at least 3 times, post 91 100 and 108 are all the same along with everybody elses posts in between being duped Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Is that gold a craftsman color? Saw a 150 style drill press painted like that and it looks great on both machines. Particularly with the engine turned trim and polished wheels. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Im pretty intent on assembling my shop with as much good vintage metal as possible, 70s and older preferably. It may not have all the fancy adjustments of my current plastic air mover but its got all the charm Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I caught that earlier today when I was in the garage, the rest of the ways in comparison are down right pristine so I may still be doing alright for having a functional machine. As for learning what to look out for lol, I did spend several weeks reading up and watching videos on the subject. I...

It occurred to me that the hammered section of way might not even be used with the carrage all the way to the left, certainly not under normal use with the 4 jaw I currently have for it. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Hey! I remember pulling a similar fan out of a dumpster as a kid. Always had a thing for vintage machines I guess. The DP is awesome, I dont think I ever saw that particular slo speed setup. I had the chance to buy the dunlap version, much more basic with only a single speed. Sent from my...

Thank you, its my first foray into larger machine tools and im both excited and anxious about the work ahead. Im thinking that at this point it will never be a great machine in terms of putting out a lot of quality parts but it'll certainly teach me a thing or two. Rear inner way is really...

Teardown started after lunch today, things are nit a pristine as I would have hoped. After carefully dismantling and cleaning in mineral spirits as I went. Change gears and related left side hardware is all out with the exception of the reverse lever mechanism. Heres a mystery, the clutch...

Yeah, from what I found its a 10tpi thread. I have my eyes on a Cushman 3 jaw and already looked into making a plate for it. I,ll keep an eye out for sebastian/sheldon parts in case anything is compatible. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

As far as the "extras" I guess it was a bit of a meh deal, a lot of it is probably no good and some of it will need significant work to be usable. The machine in person looks like a 12" swing to my amateur eye but if that plate fits I suppose it is the 14 incher I assumed it was to begin...
