Dividing head disassembly help request

Shoot I would show up just for the conversation let alone a walk through that barn, let alone let alone the chance for a free part:thumbzup3:
 
Cool piece! I love old tools and talking with experienced experts. My grandfather was an old Yankee that had seen just about everything when it comes to woodworking tools. His dad had buildings full of "junk" that would be a nice retirement nest egg if my grandmother had not sold all of it to a scrapper. Good luck with your search.
 
Yes, I didn't post an update, as I believed it to large of a gloat.
After an extensive interview to determine if I was actually interested in making parts or if my actual intent is to resell equipment, he revealed a rotary table. Note: this was a no-deal if I had any plan to resell her.
It wasn't a dividing head, but it is a classy well maintained 11inch Advance RT with XY. She only needs to be wiped down. He hasn't used her in 20years because of her weight. Evidently he used her on a Devlieg. He wouldn't have given her to me if I was using a Bridgy. However, he believes my Cincy will handle her.

Note: she won't live on the mill!

Thats awesome man. I greatly respect a man that values the tool by the merits of the man who wants it. Rather, that tool is priceless as far as currency. Your caracter paid for it
 
WOW very nice. Nothing better than getting a tool with a built in story. CHARACTER I say. Lets get a shot of that when its cleaned up and sitting on the mill.

Best Regards
 
Doggone it, Daryl. I can see that I need to start coming up your way and hanging around with you on the weekends!!
