Dave. Forgot I had these pics. They are the original oilers. Steve re-conditioned them.

Hey Dave. I believe the oil cups are the originals. But I will ask to confirm.

Jointer coming along nicely. Tables need to be picked up for final assembly and adjustment.

Joe. I don't know about your oil issue. I'm not doing this restore myself and have never owned a jointer with oil bath bearings before. It will all be new to me when I receive it and put it to use.

More update pics arrived today.

1. Buy your tools and equipment as you need them.
2. Spend your money slowly and wisely.
3. Research everything extensively before you buy. Ask for advice on this forum about machines and tools.
Oh I totally agree also. I wasn't complaining. There will be 10K in this one by the time it's done and shipped but well worth it to me. I will have one helluva nice jointer in the end and will know...
I'm excited about it but none of it is cheap that's for sure. On the other hand it's what I was looking for and there's no way I could have done a restore to this magnitude.
Martin, it will have...

Yes. Steve is a perfectionist and does a jam-up job on his restorations. I feel very lucky to have found him when I did with him having a Porter in storage.
The plan is to replace original bearings...

Thank you Malcolm. That is most helpful for price reference.
Before I entered this deal I searched on woodfinder for green red oak prices and sawyers and had no luck to verify the going rate for local QS red oak prices. Since prices vary widely in different...
When he told me the 3500.00 dollar price I said I couldn't do it and I'd bring all the lumber back. So he halved the bdft to 395 instead of 790 and treated it as 4/4 for $1800.00
I know dealing...
I'm questioning the way my sawyer is charging.
Through the years he's cut thousands of bdft for me of my personal logs I've brought to him and always charged me an hourly or bdft rate. He had red...
Hello Andrew. There really is no "curing" of the mineral oil as it is an oil. Sounds like you've got it coated good though if it won't take up any more oil. That's what your after and it's good to...
The crack in the cherry board may have been there already, just unnoticeable. The sunshine could have been just enough to get it to pop open if there was stress in the board.
Yea. I did some searching myself but couldn't find the double. Sorry I couldn't help.
