Got a flat tire, brought car to dealer and traded it for a new car. Went from German to Japanese. Kept the power but added 3 electric motors. Pics at some point soon

Why would you drive to Vegas when you can fly for under 100$ and it takes 40 minutes. Silly knappy

Been working on another old chunk of metal. It's 50's Boice Crane that came on what looks like a period correct, but mismatched Delta or Rockwell base. I want to mount it on a beefier base with wheels and give it some modern touches like a belt guard and a magnet switch.

Admittedly my machine shop knowledge is limited..........what's that used for?

Well seeing you asked…
I believe it’s a 1954 Boice Crane Model 394H 6” Wood Jointer made in OHIO USA. As mentioned, the base is not original and neither is the 1hp motor which seems to be a ¼ horse up from stock.
The original owner was a guy named Earl Haines who passed at 80 back in 2005. “Old Man Haines” as I knew him was a carpenter who’s work I would label as “exotic”. His grandkids were friends of mine and when mess around in his shop at times. There was always something special being built. I recall a domed glass ceiling frame made of what I think was solid 4” X 12” oak that must have been 16’ in diameter and all the pieces came together in the center with triangular tips and there wasn’t a gap in the whole assembly that you could slide a piece of paper into. Other times there were curved and spiral stair cases made of solid woods in process. He was also did some industrial plastic work that was cutting edge at the time. To this day my Dad says he was the smartest guy he’s ever met.
Anyway, he sold this machine to my Dad in the 80’s and as seems to be an annual event, my Dad says he’s thinking of selling something he’ll never use again and I end up buying it and continuing another trend which is my inability to not tear something down to the bones when I get my hands on it regardless of condition.
Planning to build some furniture when it’s done (or so I tell my wife).

Day two of three out at the family farm with just my 10yo son and his buddy. LOTS riding, shooting, fishing, RC cars and eating like the carnivores that we are (no women here). Just boys being boys.

I struggle from the condition EL mentioned. I, for the life of me, cannot leave anything un-wrenched on. Maybe it's my mechanical curiosity, or something else. My grandmother has always said that i would buy or drag something home just to tear it apart and look at it and how it all works.
Latest item into the shop is an old schwinn bike that my grandmother wanted me to haul to the great iron wrecking yards. Not this one grandma! My girlfriend has been hounding me for a bike, so now i've drug her into the shop to help hand "patina" this old bike. Way better than a 140$ huffy from bal-fart i.e. wal-mart.
