Gday, the mill cleaned up like a new machine, great job mate, cheers

Thanks, Matty. Looking back, I would do a couple things different. But I'm glad I didn't paint this one.

This was an amazing rebuild! Do you keep these machines for your own use, or resell them? A few years ago, I (foolishly) bought a clone mill that had been outside for years. It had terrible rust etc. I spent about a year refurbishing it. Your rebuild brought back memories of how much I struggled. But is was a pleasure to watch because you do such a good job and because of how beautify it all is going back together. You did a great job of taking a long project and making a nice summary video. Keep up the great work.

[@MyLilMule]

These are my machines. I don't resell them. As much as I enjoyed the rebuild, I wouldn't want to do them over and over on the same kind of machine. It would have to be one of those "too good to pass up" situations. Which is basically how I came into all of my machines so far.

[@KevinToppenberg]

@@MyLilMule OK, Thanks. When people ask my wife what I do with the machines I fix, she tells them that basically I just then work on another machine.... At some point I'm going to have to break this cycle. Ha! Sounds like we might be of kindred minds. :-)

[@FrustratedBaboon]

Nice

[@MyLilMule]

Thanks!

[@FrustratedBaboon]

@@MyLilMule I want to buy a series II but cannot get wife to agree.

[@MyLilMule]

@@FrustratedBaboon Those things are quite large and heavy. Too big for my shop.

[@jsmithnevinsky]

Where's the renovating part???

[@MyLilMule]

Thanks for watching!

Io non vedo altro che uno smontaggio pulizia e rimontaggio. La revisione e altra cosa.
