This is my son's project. We worked on it together with the help of Phil Clement and the wonderful website here at OWWM. We ordered the birth certificate from Eagle for my son this Christmas and found it's first home was Lockheed Aircraft Corp. He and a friend traveled 6 hours south to Half Moon Bay in California to pick up 5 pieces of old OWWM that had to go all together and no pictures were available. We knew a basic machine list but not much else. A borrowed 3/4 ton truck and a borrowed 18000 lb. trailer made the trip possible and they came home with a group of decomposing metal hulks that had been stored outside for years. This was our first project of this size and it was the worst of our lot. We shared the booty and the 1908 Oliver tilt table dual arbor table saw along with the Power-Matic 12" Planer went to our friend Adam. We just finished the restoration of the J.T. Towlsey 12" jointer. This is the prize for us, the 36" Oliver Band Saw. My other son has the Hitachi 12" jointer planer combo machine. The package was $1,600.00
