I like rebuilding machines myself, even if I'm not up to the quality of work you do. For that reason, I'm interested in more refurbishing threads. My challenge is that I never really *finish* refurbishing, I just keep playing with things.Would anyone have any interest in another Hendey refurbish thread? Or is one enough?
I'm really not trying to bore anyone to tears...
Thanks- Bear
+ 1 for interest in more Hendey restoration. Who knows what we'll learn from this one that the first didn't teach us? You did a great job illustrating and explaining your last restoration, so if you can share this next project we'll all be grateful.I am about to start refurbishing this Hendey, and have been debating on whether to do a build thread on it, or not...

Do you take requests? If you could make #3 a Hendey gear head lathe, I'd be even more excited about that!
I really liked this thread. But I have to say, you must have a very large basement. A 2000 mile round trip?! Good lord man! I'm grumpy driving 6 blocks for groceries.
