I am guessing they would have a lot of job vacancies.

I had to look up "Gimp suit" not something that i am familiar with. You obviously hang out in different company than I, and I am not saying that there is anything wrong with your lifestyle choice mate. I doubt that we will be bumping into each other at the same social gatherings. I made them...

Yes most seem to have cranked necks. i found one that looks like someone cobbled-it-up :)

A cobblers tack remover, would be my guess. it looks familiar, I used to make boots and shoes back in the 70's

Hi Scotty, They are great machines. I have a couple of the older ones, model ZT/E A little different than the ET/E model that I just finished. I have a manual for the ET/E model that may be of some help. Even the ET/E machines had several versions, so it is hard to find information on the...

Machines want to kill you! lots of you tube videos in case you have any doubts. My lathe is a 7.5hp DSG, I am pretty sure it wants to rip me apart.

There were a few parts missing as is normal on old machines. The riving knife bracket was missing, I took the a part from another Robinson saw, but had to make the knife holder.

I started off doing woodwork / furniture for the first 30 years, bought old machines and fixed them up for myself to use, but the past 20 years I have been rebuilding machines for a living.

Cleaned and gun blued most of the nuts, bolts and washers.

Yes there is a cover, I will post some more photos.

Thanks. I have a few Robinson, and a few Wadkin machines. Robinson are my favorite. The Bandsaw is awe inspiring.

Installed the gearbox

Just threads. little victories

Always stuff to learn.

setting up the vertical travel.

I made new shafts for the rise and fall handles, and was just playing around with an offcut of the precision ground shafting. I also made new collars and bushings, and and new washers etc.
