Too damn modern for me Jack, I ain't sure I'd even know how to load that one and move it.
The newest one I own is 1950s, and it's only a 6" 2nd op Ames.
Why didn't you ask a couple years back when I was pullin teeth to sell a 1920s Hamilton that would blow the doors off that contraption?

Those are really good machines. Wonder if he would make me a trade for my "Who Flung Dung"?

I'd hate to pay the freight charges on that one unless i could get it real cheap lol

You can't beat good old "American Iron"

[morpheus]

Hey Stickman, I was just looking through your photobucket pictures. Very nice collection of tools you've got there ! How much weight will your overhead crane carry attached to the rafters like that ?

13" x 5', made around 1940.
I'd think here should be a lot of used machinery in Birmingham?
Start thinking about building a 3 phase converter.
