New tool. - Woodworking Talk

BHOFM · 02-19-2009, 09:57 PM

Got a new tool today, well, it is a little used, but almost like
new. Needs a little clean up and one piece replaced. The price
was right and I plan on using it a lot! It is very accurate and
low power consumption!

I think it will help me get a lot of work done and a better
job of it as well.

Can't wait to get it on line and producing!

I was happy to find it as they are getting hard to find these days.

No!

It is a model 303 and I have looked all evening for
any info and the only thing I found was a site you
had to sign up on to view.

Where we found it we are sure no one has touched
it in over sixty years.

I have found a nice piece of wood for the replacement
piece I need. I am not going to do a restore, just
clean it up and make it usable. I have it pretty well
cleaned up, just need to cut the piece tomorrow and
put it back together.

My aunt passed away a few months ago and we are
getting ready to sell the house and property.

My Great Grandfather built the house in 1891. He was
a sash maker, doors and windows. He quit working about
1945 and passed away in 1953. I have most of his tools.
We found this in the attic yesterday, covered with
bird droppings.
No one knows how long it was there.

It will make a nice addition to my tool collection.
I wish I had the saw that went with it. A regular
hand saw works fine.

if you ever need a place to store it or keep it safe just let me know......I'll have a nice sturdy bench very soon where it would fit very nicely.....
