A guy that ran the planer at Colonial Machine was named Lefty Carver . He said when he first hired in they put him on a large mold base to work on and he said he scraped it. He said he was scared to death they were going to fire him but they didn't and he was very skilled on the planer .
Hi Rees, I just saw this, for some reason it came up as new 5 months after it was published. Nevertheless it is good to see the old Gray still making chips. Cheers my friend.
@@reesacheson5577 - Just out of morbid curiosity, I'd like to see what 45 years of acquiring shims amounts to. Is it a drawer? A cabinet? A separate wing of the shop? :-)
Enjoyed seeing it done.

Im looking to get this done to my lathe in the future do yall do this for customers
I like your machine
I presume there was twist both top and bottom. Did you have to shim up the bottom to get it to sit flat on the table?
Wow that takes a lot of care and planning. I never would have thought about measuring it after cutting. Thanks for your response.
