I’m in the process of restoring an original 1943 Oliver 133BD 6” jointer, I've taken it all down to bare metal and added a zinc base before putting on the heavy duty enamel. I just have the motor and body left so I should be done in the next week or two. The motor is original and still runs like a top!

WOW! That's looking awesome! Thanks for sharing the pictures!!!

Thank you! Just have the body and the motor left! and then I’ll run through the bearings, lube it all up and get it backt together. Long process to get it completely down to bare clean metal though

Yes but it will be worth it. A very classic piece of equipment that deserves restoration.

Thanks for having me! And I appreciate it! 

Update! Got new hardware, everything together except for the motor which just needs paint! 

That turned out spectacular Clay. Two thumbs up for your work and kudos for rescuing such a great tool from the scrap pile. "She" should provide you with many years of service for your efforts. Thanks for sharing with us here.

Ditto to what Dave said, really nice job!

Really nice work ! Good to see a quality piece of machinery brought back to life.

Thank you all for the kind words! Excited to put it to work!
