I have done a few machines and have a few more to do. I haven't taken much photo documentation of the restorations but here is an old Steptoe shaper I have restored. I go through quite a few 3" dia. Scotch Brite pads. They work very well on the bare metal surfaces. I picked up this Steptoe about a year ago and got stalled on the restoration with some other projects but plan to finish installing the drive this spring. I picked up a 5 HP single phase motor for it a few months ago. I still need to restore my Index vertical mill and a camelback drill press. The smaller machines are set up in the basement and the bigger machines are out in the garage. I have more stuff to come as I am going to be bringing my dad's stuff to my place. He has a 20" Flather lathe, 12" Hendey lathe and an old camelback. He is 82 and just can't work in his shop anymore. Below is a list of my old iron.
