Hardinge Bb4 Restoration

The wood turned out nice.
The entire project looks great.

But you have 2 different heads on those bolts......you must be less OCD than me. ;)

Haha...no I am just as OCD. I only had the 3 new bolts (stainless steel leftovers from working on my pontoon boat). The flat head is actually just stuck in there without a nut on the back. I put it there to block the empty hole for the pictures(example of my OCD haha). I will be headed to the hardware store in the next couple of days to get some more stainless ones. Good eye!
 
I got that screw replaced! I also cleaned up the wood inside the cabinet. All I need to do now is get some belts and then I'll be ready to test it out. I decided to also keep the original knobs, for now, and painted them black. Please ignore the mess...too many projects, not enough cleaning...I shall rectify that this weekend.20150910_201459.jpg

The Walmart photo is interesting- A used Hardinge milling machine and the gruel Walmart peddles couldn't be more diametrically opposed. What a contrast!

Always wanted one of these little buggers. Keep the pics coming as you test and put the finishing touches on it. Very nice work!
