Starting to order parts and assemble sub-assemblies.

Sendit,

Congratulations on the "new" machine.
It looks to be in great condition.

The only problem is that you are waaaay too fast. I have machines waiting for years for that kind of TLC.

Looks like an A-1 job!! I'm in-pressed at how quickly you restored it.

Looks great. Having done a BP disassembly/move to basement/cleaning/reassembly myself I can appreciate what you have done there and it's a TON of work.

Congratulations on your new mill, looks like you got a good one. I'm Always a big fan of variable speed on the head. I've ran a lot of the j heads and m heads with belts . Way to much trouble changing them at last now that I'm old , have no time for belts .
Your doing a good job right from the start get her fixed up now , later you may never do it. I always figured if it ain't broke don't fix it . Well it's easier when you first get the machine . Paint job looks really great bondo and sanding makes the job .

After having a crappy week, took refuge in the shop and shot some paint tonight.

Amazing how far it's come in a month.

Got a little bit done, I'm going down with some bug so I didn't work on it as much as I wanted.

It's finally starting to look like something.

Finally starting to look like something.

It's coming together. I'm waiting on a fitting to test the lube system so then I can place the table back on.
