North American people and companies who have Planers, Planer Mills and Shapers

[Richard King]

I wanted to start a list like this several years ago and never got around to it. This should help people get there equipment rebuilt faster then scraping the ways. I do have a thread on "Large Capacity Grinders" on here already. This one is for Planers and Shapers.
I know Steve Watkins has one in Navasota Texas and Steven the moderator of the woodworking fr um has one and Tacaho Museum in Easton MD has a few. Please list the ones you know of. Thanks.

Please put the size of your machines and where are you located, web-site and phone number, so people know how to get ahold of you.

I assume you mean operational machines as well?

I've got a 30"x30"x 10' plainer now, but it's a project that is long ways from being useful.

I'm asking who has a planner or shaper that can plane lathe beds and other worn machine parts. Hopefully the machines run now or sometime soon. Like Steve Watkins has.

Gallery of Machines in Marathon NY has large (really, really large) planers fitted with precision milling and grinding heads. Website says Harry Hartman runs it but his son Derek took over. He ground the bed and saddle for my monarch 16CY a couple years ago. While the Monarch is not large by industrial standards, it's certainly large-ish for those of us in the hobby crowd.

Just a heads up:-
It's planer. Not planner. Nor Plainer.

Tuckahoe,

But they are not really a machine shop, more of a museum.
