And now for the mill!
I carried this beaset down the basement steps bit by bit and then decided to restore the whole mill....:s
It is in really good condition with minor surface rust.
All the rust is now gone and the clean bits are sitting around with a protective coat of wax while i strip and repaint all the other bits!
It also came with this rusted Palmgren milling vise!!! I did not see what make it was till later. Just needs a good cleaning and a new set of jaw inserts and it will be ready to work again!
All the pics are from the original owner who had stored it in his garage for 2 years and never used it...
I will start another thread about the restoration later!
