A friend gave me a 1902 B&S hand miller. Very early, no wheels, table feeds with a lever. I really haven't a need for it but having a difficult time in bringing myself to scrap it out. it is the only Horizontal spindle in the shop. What say you? Argghh!!

Well, at the very least, offer it up for sale here, if you don't have the room or need for it. Don't scrap it for sure...

Something that old and probably pretty rare indeed needs to be saved. Once gone,it's gone forevermore. I converted a lever feed Atlas horizontal to screw feed many years ago. Back then,it was difficult to find used equipment.
Yeah, you're correct. I guess I'll keep it. In the end, I just don't think I could bring myself to scrap it (genetic packrat DNA deficiency) Who knows, if like everything else, someday something will come up where it will be needed. It is kind of scary though as the table feed is a 4' long lever.
ooh rah!!
