Thanks. The Woodpeckers collection comes pretty easy...I work there. I do most of the marketing videos. The wall covering is salvaged lumber from high school gym bleachers.

Here's a pair I'm proud to say was selected for the 2022 OWWM calendar. The one on the right might not qualify for the title of this thread...I'm not sure it is from the 1950s, might be early 1960s. Either way, the one on the left is a mid-50s 14" Delta/Milwaukee and the one on the right is a...

Beautiful job on the bandsaw, by the way.

Yeah, I've been eyeing all the internal light posts. I'm planning on doing that for the .0303 I'm working on. The 100 I asked about is for sale and is only a couple miles from me. I don't think I want to deal with the extra hole in the head, though. Luckily, I live in a "target rich...

Is the light on this press a factory option or a P.O. hack? I haven't seen it in any of the VM catalogs, but it looks like a pretty clean install. Better if there was a shade on it...

Okay, then. Thanks for your help, guys. The long way it is. I hope slowtwitch is right!

Need some help. Somewhere in one of the threads I read that the piece the safety chuck threads onto is pressed onto the shaft and held in place with a roll pin. Sounds simple enough...until I started to drive the pin out and it doesn't go all the way through. Here's a pic of the pin and the...

Nice to hear that results were at least partially positive. That's very much like what I've been thinking, except instead of blowing through the filter to a bag, I'm thinking a hose from the Tornado to a Dust Deputy, then the filter on the vertical stack of the Dust Deputy.

Do you want it to look period, or do you want it to work well without concern for period aesthetics? I've been searching for one of those. In my mind, I have it equipped with an Oneida Dust Deputy and a cartridge filter. It's sort of backwards to how the Dust Deputy is designed (blowing through...

Buffing out the paint on the old drill press. Made a quick video on my process.

To even consider using your wife's jewelry cleaner indicates that your wife is much more understanding than most. :geek:

I got Harbor Freight's little ultrasonic, and I love it. I use Purple Power half and half with water and grease is gone in minutes.

The rounded corners suggest Huot. Handles look Huot, too.

I was just coming back to this thread to report success and share the exact tip jmarkwolf just posted. Frank Lee sent it to me by PM and I saw the above-mentioned Tubalcain video late last night. Tubalcain did it with the drill press still fully assembled and functional, but it works just as...

I've backed the set screw out. I think all I have to do now is have the courage to apply force to the collar pushing the chuck off the taper. And, by "force", I mean unthreading it.

Hey guys. I'm new to Garage Journal, but I spend quite a bit of time over on OWWM. Seems like there are a few Craftsman drill press experts hanging around here, so I thought I would try to pick your collective brains. I have a Craftsman 103.0303 that I tore down tonight. I've been absorbing...

Pics of my Huot 101

I hang out mostly at a forum site that centers around old woodworking machinery (owwm.org), but I always seem to end up on GJ when I Google something. I decided to join because members here will appreciate a recent purchase far more than the "Old 'Arn" crowd at the machinery forum. Looking to...
