Popular Post John Morris Posted November 10, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Introduction We are excited to announce that Larry Buskirk is back and ready to assume his duties as the Old Machinery Forum Host! Larry has been a member since July of 2011 along with a small hiatus from us as life happened, but he has returned to the fold, and we are very happy he is back. When Larry first came aboard he demonstrated his keen prowess in the art of restoring old machinery, and he kept coming back to share his expertise with others and a few of his own projects. It wasn't long before Larry shot us a message and asked us "You all should install an Old Machinery Forum!". After much cajoling and convincing us admins, the forums for Old Machinery were born, you can all thank Larry Buskirk for firing up our Old Machinery forums! I had a personal run in with Larry from the early days, I had an old Walker Turner drill press that I started to restore, and the on/off switch box was a mess, the wires were all jumbled and they were disconnected and I could not get it to hook up and start. Larry asked me to call him and see if we could get it squared away, within 10 minutes by just a phone call, Larry walked me through the identification process of each wire, and which wire connects to the other, and by the end of the night I had a Walker Turner that was spinning away! He really knows his stuff folks. Projects One of Larry's projects he shared with us was his Delta 700 Scroll Saw Restoration. Larry has also helped us start a unique file sharing gallery for machinery decals that are needed during the process of getting that old machine back to specs and color. All the decals uploaded into this gallery were done by our Machinery Forum Host. https://thepatriotwoodworker.com/files/category/25-delta-mfg-co/ Just a heads up, when a decal is submitted in the decal files sharing category, they are auto-populated into the Old Machinery Badges and Decals Forum. https://thepatriotwoodworker.com/forums/forum/46-old-machinery-badges-and-decals/ Duties Larry will be hosting all the forums under the Old Machinery category. He'll will be our main go to man for the art of restoring old machinery, or not restoring old machinery! Hey, just post your old machinery topics here, so we can all talk about them and learn. Restored or not, Old Machinery is just flat out cool. Larry will be able to assist members in posting their topics or editing images, or inserting images, correcting up on that post that you wish you had not posted, he will be able to remove or change content for you. And of course his main duty here, is to be here for you while you restore that old machine, bringing it back from the dead. In other words, welcome back Larry! Great to have you aboard, again, and assuming your duties here in the Old Machinery Forums! Now, get to it folks! Dig em up, un-bury them, rescue them from salvage, and take up your neighbor when they offer you an old machine that appears to be useless, because I guarantee you, once you get it in your shop, and you interact here for the resto process, you'll have a working machine that is made better than most machines today, at a fraction of the cost.

I'll bet he knows where they went. Donuts... they were passed out to everyone and everybody... I didn't keep or eat any... I've gots a plan ''B''... pie/ice cream... that's Schnooge ( @schnewj )... good luck w/ getting near any of that.. if you really really have to have some... I suggest to go heavily armed and w/ lots of support/back up because it'd be like bringing a pocket knife to a nuclear conflict... coffee... take the pie and ice cream... lots easier and safer...

You can buy it back w/ a pie/ice cream refill... someday you'll figure it out that a recycled paper sack or plastic bag is all that is needed.. no refill.. no plate.. you can bet on it...

So If I have an old name plate, do you want an image for your file? If so in what format? Herb @Dadio Herb, We're both into many things old. The platters, and a tea/coffee server she got from her mom matched a set we found while Antique scrounging before we were married. Last Friday was our 35th anniversary, all of our "old group" said we wouldn't last a year. We're the only couple still together. So I guess we were a better match than they figured. If you want, send the image in jpg if possible. It might be something to add to the Decal Images file. Otherwise I can probably convert it to something I can work with. Thanks.
