The SS Crescent has been dry docked with all of the smaller components going through an electrolysis clean up. The base decided to spend spring break on the black sand beaches created by the sandblasting it is now ready for a little body work, primer and paint. I have the jointer completely stripped, down to every last bolt and everything cleaned up beautifully. I am just wrapping up the last batch of electrolysis and will be ready to begin priming and painting everything this weekend. I also need to repour the Babbitt bearings, which I plan to do this weekend. If all goes well, I should begin putting everything back together next week and I could be ready for the re-commissioning next weekend. This restoration has been a lot of fun and a real learning experience for me. For those that haven't seen any of the prior discussion, this is a 12" jointer made by the Crescent Manufacturing Company around 1920.
