I don't think many folks would put in the effort you have Darren, well done.
I suppose that's why so much of a tool's value rests on the handles and controls being intact, just a few missing handles and they are furnace fodder to many buyers.

Thanks guys. I need to find the time to finish it off but it's not a job worth rushing

Nice work on the mill Darren. That's going to be a real nice mill once it's all up and running.

Today I reassembled the back gears. I forgot to take pictures of the actual process but it was a simple matter of 4 bearings, 2 gears, one fork and a lifting cam.

I made a new knob for the engage/disengage lever, which I was worried may look a little odd (I made it the same size as all the others). I placed it on the head to see the scale and I'm actually quite pleased with how it looks.

I also put the belt guard and drive assembly on to, just for a quick look.

That's really starting to come together Darren.

It's coming along nicely Darren. Are you in the home stretch?

Thanks guys. I'll be on the home stretch when Kondia get me the parts I want!

It looks great Darren. Using the engine stand is a brilliant idea.
