I think you're cheating...I'm sure you're buying all new bits and kidding us on.
Keep up the good work!

I never liked this area....I find it difficult to settle...I come from a travelling family.. yes a travelling family..not a gypsy...I like country side ..here I am stuck in a residential area...hate the road and the surroundings...some days I can deal with it...other days I cant.....

In days of olde (2015!) I was doing nothing much and met a gypsy, really nice guy, from England’s gypsy community, he did woodwork with me for a few weeks and showed me how to build a door, a gate, built a stile with him too. A very talented man who rebuilt circus equipment from the days of steam powered fairgrounds. I think he did the Chipperfields helter skelter. Anyway, he encouraged me to build a collection of tools, and actually gave me a saw which was really kind given I’d only known him two weeks. Anyway fast forward five years and here we are... a small workshop full of old machinery, more tools than I can remember... I’d like to write to him but being of that life I don’t think I’ll be able to really.

One of today's tasks. Fit the rack to the gap bed and oil up.

If you have the time and inclination, would you consider starting a separate thread on how to disassemble, clean and reassemble a Jacob's chuck?
I see many drill press restorations done with the chuck virtually untouched. To me, that is like restoring a classic car and putting the original 1960s crossplies back on it.
Thanks.
