Millers Falls Boring Machine Restoration

Been awhile since I posted what I've been working on so I thought I'd share. Just finished restoring this Millers Falls Boring Machine I picked up in a barn sale last fall. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and it's even more fun to use.

It basically had no paint left on it under all the rust except for a couple small spots in some of the internal corners.

Finding the solid walnut base under all that grime was a pleasant surprise.

Everything was disassembled, de-rusted, cleaned, and re-finished. All hardware was re-blued. The base was cleaned up and given a few fresh coats of BLO and satin poly.
