Lathe and Machine/Woodworking Tool Identification (Part Two)

Homemade moulding spindle?

Certainly a bench pillar drill, think is it a Fobco derivitive.

Homemade again, router table.

I'm impressed by the quantity of homemade tools and want to have a look through the workshop before it gets cleared, should be some interesting stuff to look at and maybe get an idea of the owner.

With that vice, looks like he was using the pillar drill as a mill.

Isn't that generally considered a bad idea ?

Most drills are not designed for side loads, so yes.

Yes, looks like a milling table. There are part finished model steam engines in the workshop.

i believe the first one is a mouldings sander/cutter as its also variable by using the chuck underneath early days before routers came in

the table also rises and falls

homemade gear is nice and served a good purpose sadly there isnt much value in them

I would go with home made drum sander.

On a total aside, I remember my dad had a Crypton battery charger identical to the wall mounted one above.
