1900s Door Mortiser [Restoration]

This restoration is on a 1900s patented door mortiser made by A.W. Miller Mfg. Co.. You can view the original patent here: patents.google....
I obtained this tool knowing it was missing several parts that needed to be remade. Luckily, the missing parts were mostly easy to reproduce, except for the missing hand-wheel. For this, I decided to have all the hand-wheels re-cast in bronze by Windy Hill Foundry. The full process of that re-casting can be seen here: • HAND WHEELS. A Collabo... . Big thank you to him as well!
The original finish for this tool was japanning, but I actually ran out of the ingredients to make a new batch, so I had to resort to repainting it. I made a new handle out of jatoba and brass. I was able to salvage the original cutter, but I wish I could find the other cutters, which apparently came with this tool originally.
As specialized as this tool is, it does perform very well and make quick work of cutting a slot into some test pieces of wood. Definitely faster, easier, and more accurate than chiseling it out by hand.
This tool has an amazing look to it, so I might end up selling or giving this tool away.

[@morkovija]

@@Frightningman while asserting dominance over client by not breaking up the eye contact while in the process... x)

[@aserta]

@@Frightningman You can get an attachment that fits on most hand held routers which allows you to use mortise drills. The part that makes the square hole attaches to the body of the router and the drill goes through an attachment to the collar chuck. The fence doo-hikey is a bit weird to use at first, but it's a decent tool. Certainly worlds better than having to carve it out. Unfortunately, i don't remember the name, i know it's made in Canada tho. I think it's something with a small beaver tail on a square drill as a logo. Oh, and it's not a recent tool, we're talking mid 80's i believe. My Canadian uncle had a couple of them. Alternatively, you could just use the contraption Matthias Wandel made (also, a Canadian...), AKA his panto-router. Which is perfect for drilling square holes and other things.
