Thanks, I’m glad you liked it!

Thanks for the feedback. I usually speed them up a little bit so the video is shorter. I’ve got a vintage delta 12 inch disc sander that I will be restoring next, so maybe I’ll try more normal speed in that video.

Oooohhh yes. Can’t work outside without a helper.

I would probably remove the dust chute altogether and build a something that mounts directly underneath that I could attach a dust collector to. The chute doesn’t really seal well and has a very large opening at the bottom. I don’t actually have this jointer anymore, since I got a larger one so this is mostly from memory. I hope this helps.

I put the small parts in a product called Evaporust, which works very well and is biodegradable, reusable, and doesn’t have harsh chemicals in it. For the cast iron surfaces, I used WD-40 and 220 grit sand paper - do this by hand, not with a sander. I’ve done this on other projects and never sanded to the point where I made something no longer level. For the grease, I clean it with Naphtha which is a chemical you can get from a box store or a hardware store. This is also what I use to clean the WD-40 off cast iron surfaces after sanding off the rust. I’m happy to answer any other questions you have, and good luck!

I think those are 3 inch deck screws, which is what I had laying around. I didn’t show in the video, but I also put glue on the block of 2x4 before screwing it down.

@@1836craftsman I know those ones, I meant the ones that secured the router itself. They looked like machine screws.

Oooooh! Those came with the router for screwing to a plate. I’d have to look in the manual to see what they actually are.

@1836craftsman ok, that's all I need to know. I have a router, and it might have some with it.

It’s a spokeshave. The one I have is a Benchsog brand, from Rockler.

Thank you! What I sprayed before painting is a product called, Loctite Rust Neutralizer. You can spray it on lightly rusted surfaces and it prevents future rust and acts as a primer coat for painting. As far as the paint itself, it’s an oil based Sherwin Williams. I took a piece of another delta machine and they matched the color perfectly.

When I use it I will post a short video showing it in use!

I could buy a new one sure, but why would I when I already had one I could fix? Also, it will cut tenons just the same with or without a perfectly polished surface.

@@1836craftsman both statements are true, but miss my point.

Also Boeshield T-9 application prior to wax for much longer lasting results.

I don’t usually use the wire brush for rust removal, but it was pretty heavily on there. Seems like it turned out ok.

I used naphtha to clean off the wd-40 prior to applying wax. Not making a base layer of grease/lubricant and then applying wax on top.

Thank you! I used white lithium grease on the dovetail ways to make it smoother. One thing you might check is that you didn’t over tighten the two large phillips screws right behind the handle. If those two screws are tightened too much it will be difficult to pull the handle to raise and lower the head. In the video I put these back on at the 8:31 mark so you can see exactly which screws I’m talking about.

That’s a good tip, thanks. I am usually wearing one so I often forget it’s even there.

Literally, the first thing I noticed.

Why?

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it! Hopefully others find it helpful too.

If I had to guess, I’d say about 125-150 lbs. I don’t have it anymore and the manual doesn’t say how much it weighs.

Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words, that means a lot to me.

Thank you!

You are!

I accept venmo and PayPal for donations to the ‘better audio equipment’ fund. 😂

Oh, man! Sorry, I don’t think I can help you with that.

Thank you! I’m working on a video of the full build now and hope to have it up soon.

Welcome aboard!

Thank you!

Thanks for the tip!

Wow, I didn’t know that!

Thanks! It was a fun easy project.

A snack and something to drink, probably. He’s a bottomless pit.

Thanks! Definitely quick and dirty, but it gets the job done.

Yeah, he does that from time to time.

Thank you, and welcome aboard!

Thank you! I still haven’t figured out what to do with it. I’ve thought about maybe framing it or routing a little section of the back out and gluing it on the back. Do you have any ideas?

@1836craftsman what if you create a pie shape out of wood with a hole in the middle to insert your dad's writing? Or cut the wood with the writing into a pie piece shape, put a stand on the back, and display it on top of the pie cabinet?

@carla109 I like the idea of making a little display out of it that could sit on the top it in a shelf inside. Great idea!

There’s very little difference between this jointer from the mid 1980’s and the earlier Rockwell models back to the 1940’s. I also restored a 1980’s Unisaw where all of the internal components were pretty much identical to the early models. It’s incredible how little these Rockwell/Delta machines changed over the years.

Oh yeah, you’re absolutely right. I’d like to get a sand blaster one day, but I’m making it work with what what I’ve got. I’m also somewhat limited on space so I have to be judicious in my tool acquisitions. Great suggestion!

I’d use dremel or die grinder with wire wheel vs super expensive air compressor to keep up with sand blasting

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Mallets are super handy and fun projects. Good luck making yours!

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! Glad to have you aboard.

Thank you!

All of the machinery I have I’ve restored or have bought second hand. Not a single power tool has been bought new.

Thank you and welcome!

Thank you and welcome aboard.

I've updated the description to include a link to a google docs file that has detailed all of the measurements. It's not to scale, but does have everything you need and should answer all your questions. As far as wood movement, I guess we'll see. I cut the panel so there's a little bit of wiggle room just in case, but the panel is about 13 1/2" wide, so there shouldn't be a lot of movement. It's also going to live inside year round, which I hope will help minimize the movement. If you're uncertain of where yours will end up, I'd say veneered plywood is probably a good choice. My panel was 3/8" thick with a rabbet cut in the bottom, so you'd just skip the rabbeting.

@@1836craftsman Perfect. That is exactly what I needed. Thanks so much!

Definitely need to buy some more tools before tackling that project!

Thanks!

@@1836craftsman we just bought an old 6” walker turner. Hopefully it comes out as good as this one 😅

Awesome! I hope the video helped. A lot of these old machines are very similar. Good luck!

Thanks! Hopefully the video helps you get through yours.

Thanks! I used a Sherwin Williams oil based paint for metals. I actually restored a Unisaw from the same era last year (late 1980’s) and had some paint leftover that I used. I took a piece of the Unisaw to Sherwin Williams and had them match the color. They matched it perfectly. I still have the can if you need to know the exact color mixture. Let me know and thanks for the comment!

Thanks. I don’t have anything else planned at the moment, but it won’t be long. :)
