Restoration of a beauty!
« on: July 20, 2014, 05:46:44 PM »
I have an old beast that i bought at least 3 years ago with the plan to do some hand printed posters and art prints.
I never had the space for it at previous workshops so it sat under a tarp outside until this weekend.
I gladly spent Saturday cleaning and lubing her up ready for action!
What a beautiful machine! May seem like total overkill for a hand bench but this thing is built to last!
Adjustments all over the show. Anything i thought 'oh that seems a bit out of whack' there was an adjustment to bring it back.
Check it out.

Haha nearly... The Tas is running like a dream cheers Malcolm. No problems thus far. (Apart from running over the power cord with the palette jack)
