A couple of weeks ago I got a 1950's Adept hand shaper and for those that haven't seen one it is the first photo. I have been after one of these for a long time and while I did pay a premium for it I am very pleased to have it to play with. :)
Icing on the cake and quite out of the blue my son rang me tonight to ask if I wanted another mill. He was cleaning out a factory and it was about to go in the scap bin. Delivered within the hour with three strong blokes to help move it. Couldn't even give away a drink as they wanted to get home so a major win for nothing. :) :)
It is a Tough (see photo two) and came with about fifty cutters (photo three) all in good nick and all the accessories. Has pnuematic ram vice and coolant.
Dilema is SWMBO is still at work, no room in shed and can't decide if I should put it in the Family Room, Activity Room or Lounge Room. Truth is it will probably end up in the dog house with me. :D
