Here is my latest addition to the machine shop. I was picking up some wood from a guy's place who was cleaning up and this little beauty was sitting sadly next to his shed. When I asked him if he was getting rid of it he told me I could have it. I have decided to restore it. I want to paint it etc., not just get it running.
Currently I have taken the base apart and I am doing electrolytic rust removal on the top part (of the base). I think I will still sandblast it if possible though because the electrolysis leaves a lot of black gunk behind.
I would be most greatful for any tips etc. in restoring it.
