Refreshing to not see a Domino Joiner being used. Beautiful work.

What is the test number and I will date it. The vast majority of EP's were sub contracted to sentinel steam wagons, but it was usually the EPA ones. Like already said a stanley blade is good for shaving the rust off tables.

We have the exact same model with the exact same defects. Wish I knew what it is worth. Nothing is seized, and the motor has been well maintained. It doesn't have a ring fence or power feed. It has everything else, though.

Would you list the manufacturers of the hand tools you use? This will help me to avoid making poor choices both paying too much for those dan-died up ones or too little on failed great deals. I have been making furniture for forty five years and think the time has come for me to make a Windsor.

Plank the engine hoist, lower it onto the planks and use the engine crane as the trolley. Much safer especially if you keep the straps on...

Very Interesting but you are not right about the Whitehill block using a power feed does not make it legal . I noticed that the machine had a Sentinel label .This probably means it was made by them under licence from Wadkin .

Nice clean up and restore - especially as, with the number of seized parts, it probably would have been destined for scrap had you not rescued it. I too brush paint my machines (I don't have facilities for spray painting and it's too messy for me), however I did notice one or two more runs than I would settle for. A couple of corrections: You say it was built in 1946 at Wadkin's Green Lane Works. I'm afraid that's not correct. It was sub-contracted to Sentinel Ltd. and built at Shrewsbury. This is what the tag - visible at 25:30 and again at 27:27 minutes - states. The other correction is the build date. EPA's were built at Green Lane work, Leicester until 1945 and then again form 1952. During the post-WW2 rush Wadkin sub-contracted these to Sentinel. As they weren't made at Green Lane they didn't have Green Lane test numbers. Initially I believe they were simply dated, later machines having an "SC" test number allocated. Your machine EPA 953s had 27-1-49 stamped where the test number should be - visible at 42:14 minutes. I am almost 100% certain this indicates the machine was tested on 27th January, 1949. There is little information available, but I believe as part of the contract, Wadkin supplied the castings (possibly raw, un-machined) and all proprietary parts - with Sentinel doing the fitting, finishing and assembly (and possibly machining of the castings). Cheers, Vann.

Thanks for your comment Vann, I got the information about its date and location of manufacture from Wadkin themselves. I gave them the test number and that’s what they told me. They even had the original receipt of purchase but wouldn’t show me as it’s confidential. I’m going to call Wadkin again to double check what they told me. If you don’t mind could you tell me where you got all this information as I’m always keen to learn more about Wadkin’s history. Cheers, Sam

@@samchampionmarchant Hi Sam. Wadkin went under in 2008. Shortly after that, Daltons bought the Wadkin name, and currently make machines under the "Wadkin" brand. However AMS bought the Wadkin intellectual property and have machines made for them overseas under the "Wadkin-Bursgreen" brand. AMS is largely staffed by former Wadkin employees. I would suggest that you ask the guys at Wadkin Dalton what the date on the receipt is. AMS hold the original "test" records for Wadkin machines. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my post, there are no records of the test dates for machines sub-contracted to Sentinel. We have no proof that "27-1-49" stamped where the test number should be definitely indicates the machine was tested on 27th January, 1949 - but it seems most likely. Have a look at this thread on the Canadian forum where wallace and I discuss these machines : forum.canadianwoodworking.com/forum/tools/power-tools/vintage-power-tools/1176488-wadkin-epa Feel free to ask me any other questions you have. I can't answer everything, but I'll give it my best shot.

You are certainly correct about the sub contracting to Sentinel around wartime. This machine was not built by Wadkin.

I came to you channel on your Wadkin EP shaper video. Your use of machines and tools is exquisite. Your table saw looks like a PK. Is that correct? Also do you have the cruciform base for the saw? That’s the casting the slider rides on to the right.
@samchampionmarchant5 ай бұрын
It is the Wadkin PK and it does have the casting for the table extension to ride along. I’m a huge fan of Wadkin machinery they are a pleasure to use and maintain. I would have their bandsaw aswell but the workshop isn’t tall enough.

Congrats on the EP shaper. Old Wadkin rules!!!! In the future, try using dingle edge razor blades to remove table rust. Germany required color coded machines at one point. Wood was green. Metal was grey. In the states, Northfield bought a trailer load of nova green army surplus. That is how we got all our machines a puke green. I paint my wadkins grey and royal post red.

I enjoyed every second of this video. It was like a meditation, chill out relaxation video and made me like and subscribe. I learned a thing or two especially about the colours. I used to work on one of these spindles but since I quit working for the man I have to make do with a little Kity spindle moulder. I've got some time I might just watch it again. Thanks 👍🏼
