Nice work, always rewarding and owning a machine with a story behind it.

Great job restoring it .. A lot of people do not know the amount of work that goes in a restoration. I get a great thrill and sense of satisfaction when I get a old machine cranking again or rebuilding and refinishing one. Great going Tom B

Very nice save! Sorry if this is a silly question - is the side edge plated and are all capable of that look with your method? If so, can you elaborate a bit as I'm interested in how it's done. Thanks!

Nice job, Jerry... but personally, I prefer the original red finish... :lol:
