Beautiful job on the Robinson ET/E! I just recently finished rebuilding one, they are beautiful machines.

Woodworking is fairly simple, once you understand the basics, It then just becomes a matter of applying the basics to whatever job that you are working on. The basics are about A, Understanding wood, B. Understanding cutting tools, C, Understanding marking out. D. understanding the relationship...

You can learn far more in your own workshop, regardless of where it is located, if you have an insatiable desire to learn, and open mind and are willing to question , experiment, observe and analyze.

Your pilot is on the same plane as you, so I would be as concerned about them, but you might want to take your lawyer with you when you get your next surgery, and it doesn't hurt to google the drugs that your doctor prescribes. Just saying.

I am guessing they would have a lot of job vacancies.

I had to look up "Gimp suit" not something that i am familiar with. You obviously hang out in different company than I, and I am not saying that there is anything wrong with your lifestyle choice mate. I doubt that we will be bumping into each other at the same social gatherings. I made them...

Yes most seem to have cranked necks. i found one that looks like someone cobbled-it-up :)

A cobblers tack remover, would be my guess. it looks familiar, I used to make boots and shoes back in the 70's

Hi Scotty, They are great machines. I have a couple of the older ones, model ZT/E A little different than the ET/E model that I just finished. I have a manual for the ET/E model that may be of some help. Even the ET/E machines had several versions, so it is hard to find information on the...

Machines want to kill you! lots of you tube videos in case you have any doubts. My lathe is a 7.5hp DSG, I am pretty sure it wants to rip me apart.

Thank you all for you interest and comments. It's a fine machine and I enjoyed rebuilding it. I had originally planed on keeping it, but my health is not the best lately and a customer asking if I had one for sale, so I finished it and sold it to him. Last week it got shipped off to California...

The rip fence was not very flat, so I started out with a disk grinder and straightedge, got it fairly close then switched to hand scraping and surface plate. It took a long time but I got it pretty flat and consistent.

There were a few parts missing as is normal on old machines. The riving knife bracket was missing, I took the a part from another Robinson saw, but had to make the knife holder.

I started off doing woodwork / furniture for the first 30 years, bought old machines and fixed them up for myself to use, but the past 20 years I have been rebuilding machines for a living.

Cleaned and gun blued most of the nuts, bolts and washers.

Yes there is a cover, I will post some more photos.

Thanks. I have a few Robinson, and a few Wadkin machines. Robinson are my favorite. The Bandsaw is awe inspiring.

Installed the gearbox
