Thank you for the warm welcome.
I partially dismantled the Stuart yesterday.
I wanted to see the bore and the gate valve.
All looks very nice. The bore is pristine.
A good clean up and a boiler sounds like a great idea.
I am putting the finishing touches on rebuilding a Delta 14” metal/wood band saw.
One of my passions is rebuilding American iron.
My 13” South Bend lathe was a beauty. I still have a Industrolite horizontal mill to refurbish.
Nothing like American made machinery.
