Wow Nick, super interesting & this is certainly a different example from the usual Jensen fair, Congratulations !

Thanks Bruce, I knew the firebox was a replacement, but I was hoping the lineshaft and tool design would have been a custom build by one of the Jensen customizers. John Loughner did not recognize it...

I do like the grinder, but it is too large and does not fit with the rest of the tools. The lineshaft is very well made and I would like to keep the set-up pretty much as is minus the grinder. I would like to move one of the end tools in and put a Jensen windmill on and maybe a water tower in one of the other empty spots. I have lots of 3/4" oak plywood that I can double up as the base is not the best...

I will more than likely keep it flame-fired as I have always thought it would be neat to have one, but would never have the heart to do it to an original. With a little fixing up I think this would make a great "center-piece" at a show
