    A.J. Wilkinson Planer Ebay

    I have one of these pretty complete with the base in need of major tlc. Bevel gears, paint, surface rust, etc... I was planning someday to bring it back like the one on ebay. Maybe not? I dont know the market value these days if there ever was one. If I could get 1500 for what I got that might...

    1850s Leonard & Clark Lathe at PA Auction

    maltese hunter (aka jake) is a better man than me. He posted about that lathe even though it could well have cost him the planer he wanted. I feel compelled to give credit and a thank you.

    Early Flather 20"

    Christmas comes early for Joe this year! Email me the coordinates and I will get the it out. Peter Ps I striped down the lathe for parts, but so long ago and there was not much. It was a jumble of broken parts piled up in a local town dump. I dont think I have any more left. It was probably...

    How to repair this cracked main spring ?

    I see my post from yesterday never made it? I must have forgot to hit the 'Post' button. I got a person to answer at VTI Gun parts yesterday and was able to order a main spring for $43 plus shipping. That price hurts and I did not order the spares I had planned. Should be a problem solved. I...

    How to repair this cracked main spring ?

    Unfortunately, I was unable to stay home and work the phones all day. I left two messages. Spoke with Buffalo, no parts there. I did score a direct phone number to Pedersoli Italy and allowing for the 5 hrs time difference I plan to call them tomorrow. I hope they speak English. I think I'll try...

    How to repair this cracked main spring ?

    This might be relevant to the discussion of the apex. The right side lock with spring installed.

    How to repair this cracked main spring ?

    Close, but the devil is in the details. I marked up two views. Measure with dial caliper accuracy. Take the 1000's with a grain of salt. Welding that corner solid sounds like a better design. And it is out of sight and lots of clearance all around that corner.

    How to repair this cracked main spring ?

    really! I was on the VTI parts sight for Pedersoli. Locks only. Called, left message no reply. I will call Buffalo, I know them by reputation. Excellent! I wish you could remember the source you used. Not logging out just yet.

    How to repair this cracked main spring ?

    Yea, that could be how it goes. I just got off the phone with a local guy who help me out before. Odd response, he is a gunsmith and said the legal liability situation requires he use only new parts? There are plenty of local resources, not so constrained. For folks who are not rude, thank you...

    How to repair this cracked main spring ?

    I like to try and do it myself. I wonder if I was real careful, could I get away with 7018 stick? I did some google search and have a general idea that bronze brazing is not suitable. And once done it makes future repair 10x more work.

    How to repair this cracked main spring ?

    I am pretty good welding trailer hitch scale parts or brazing. I have a tig gun for my miller but never took the time to learn how. I tried a few times and found I needed some instruction. Or a lot more practice. At this point, 10 years later, I would have to do some reading and be start from...

    How to repair this cracked main spring ?

    This spring is from the left lock on a 10ga Pedersoli db shotgun. I guess I over compressed it during removal or it was cracked already and I made it worse. I looked all over the web for replacements. All I found was VTI selling a complete lock for $170, which is about 50% of what the gun might...

    Brainerd No8 Lincoln style mill with over arm- for sale

    I am taking this Brianerd Mill to the engine show in Dublin NH next weekend,Sept 12, for sale. Like to post a heads up here. I think it is a very interesting old mill because while it is a Lincoln pattern machine it uses an over arm. I can elaborate on line or off. The price is $500. Should be...

    Small Antique lathe ID?

    This is probably a shop number and not a serial number. Unfortunately, a "no !" situation. Often as machines were built, the fitted prices were all stamped with a number (generally 0 to 99) to keep track of which parts went to which machine. The head and tail were probably hand scraped, not...

    walcott and wood help with weight

    Lack of replies might be due to lack of information. Swing and bed length goes a long way to help guess weight. The highway patrol sounds pretty tough up there in BC?
