you did a beautiful job.

If you could post a closer image to that decal it could be replicated.

One thing to note is this machine probably had a very long life and went through several modifications to its drive train, base, etc. There might be little left of what was original on this machine.

This was a new sight for me: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/tls/6140737833.html

oh man I woulda' bought that in a heartbeat!

I would say you are on to something. rlitman's link actually says the sockets for that ratchet are modified snap ons! I agree much of this is custom made, Nasa wasn't above using off the shelf if they could.

Can anyone ID the ratchet or crescent wrench in this photo?

How did people go about locking down these ball caster machines?

I see the occasional vintage BIRO or other branded butcher bandsaw for sale locally and was just wondering if there is anything inherently different about these saws that prevent them from being used for wood or metal (depending on speeds).

Ran across this tonight. Amazing style! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/tls/6002312580.html

Why not paint the HF to match temporarily. They look nice together.

that bottom is dreamy.

That is my dream box. Some day...

Or California. love it.

Thanks for the info guys. They seem fairly identical internally. I wasn't sure if one had a better reputation.
