Hi all I dont think Ive posted here since spring its good to have the time now, its been a good summer down here, Its starting to get a bit chilly now but its nice to get back in the shop for the winter. I have had a few projects on during the summer im working on my own restoration of a little grey fergie, sorting out a bigger Blasting cabinet, still getting to grips with my milling machine still have a lot to do from last winter and have had plenty of late nights.
Thought I would share with you this little beauty I picked up yesterday its a Elliott 10M shaper
been sat for a long time but I think came at a good price for me, everything was seized until today, with plenty of red diesel soaking I have stripped out the ways and given them a good clean I took the rotary wire brush to get most of the rust off and now have it finally working.
I have given it a bit of a clean with a scotch pad and diesel and tonight a started cutting the an old vice jaws I have been given.
Lovely sound I am hoping to mainly use it for cutting keyways and one of the first jobs is to make some shrinker/stretcher jaws.
