I’m a sucker for old iron too.
This is my Davis & Wells 6”jointer, Ser.#528 from mid 1940s.
It has a 62” bed. And is all cast iron, & very heavy.
I’ll probably clean it up & paint it this summer, but I’m too busy using it for now.
And besides, it’s earned that rustic appearance.
I put it on wheels so I can move it outside to use it, don’t want those wood chips all over the mill & lathe etc, etc.

Nice piece to have.
Do you sleep at all?????
Not hardly. 4hrs ish usually. To many irons in to many fires. Multiple buisness owner and many side gigs. Toss a bunch of hobbys in there leaves high stress and no sleep.
Wow, just be careful. That work load and worry catches up to you. Stay well, that's all that counts in the end.
