Re: restoration in progress: edge sander
Jay, I always enjoy seeing your restored projects. Thanks for posting this. I hope you keep posting as the progress continues.
Just curious, where/how do you find all these old machines?

The North American Rockwell tag was an inventory asset tag. North American was the Aircraft manufacturing arm of Rockwell. They produced the T-6 Texan, T-28, The P-51 Mustang, F-86 Saber, F-100 Super Saber, A-5 vigilante, Ov-10 Bronco, and the one I worked on for them, The B-1B bomber. There were North American plants in Columbus, Ohio, Tulsa OK, and a couple in California at Palmdale and Downey. They also built the Apollo Comand/service module and the second stage of the Saturn 5. That sander could have come from any of those places. You have a piece there that was a part of a great aerospace company with a very large impact on this country. They were sold to Boeing in 1996.

And the T-2C Buckeye trainer. I learned to fly in that little jet which we dubbed the "Fighter Guppy" because of its ungainly appearance.

Wow Jay!
That looks like plenty in one day to me!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_danc
Having to use that shop crane to disassemble the motor is mind boggling to me.
I for one really enjoy reading your progress and seeing the great WIP pictures.
Thanks so much for all of detail. (This is a learning experience for me as well.)
Thanks
Wayne

Being a person who needs an hour and a couple of band-aids to get the shrink wrap off of a CD, I'm amazed at your work with this machinery. I understand absolutely nothing about what you're doing, and yet I'm fascinated by it. Looking forward to more pix and the conclusion of this most interesting thread.

Do have one question. How do you paint in this heat? I have a project that is stalled right now due to outside temps.
