Well today was Father's day for the D'Attilio family, as we live 2 hours away from "Pop"; and as my tool fetish and woodworking genes come fro mhim - we natually retired to the basement to talk "shop".
He was saying he just picked up an old jointer from my brother (the family flea marketer/bargain hunter extraordinaire) for $30 who I'm guessing got it for nothing...
It turns out ole "pops" got himself a rather obscure jointer as I did not recognize the lathe, nor be ti that i am an expert
As my father is rather internet not-so-savy, I volunteered to try and find some info - Mfg: "check", Model#: "check".
The jointer is a Sprunger Bros. 4.5" jointer Model # J450
The part i need help with is 1 of 2 things. 1 where an I find an old manual for this jointer and 2 where can i get repalcement blades or the blades sharpened in the NE Pennsylvania area - My parents live near Pottsville(Home fo Yeungling Beer) in Schuylkill(growing up here -you learn to spell it by heart) County.
Mini Gloat= Delta Shopmaster Scroll Saw - which i intend to use to segment pens and such as i don't own any power tools, and trust me segemnting pens by hand is a real "PITA"
Thanks that is all :)
