1957 asquith pillar drill

[God mode restorations]

Today I uncovered the drill for its oil up. Haven't done it for a while. Been through all the gears and everything appears to be good. Can't really access the gearbox for an examination until I strip the lot down. I have got to take the head off at some point for restoration.

Are you going to give us a tantalizing glimpse of all of your machines by unwrapping just enough to get us excited? Bit like a machinery strip tease. We've had the slotter, the grinder and now the drill. You've certainly collected / saved some nice machines.

There's a few more hid up around the place.
