Boice Crane Drill Press Restoration

[johnlllejeune]

I started the restoration before I joined, so I don't have any before pictures. But you can all imagine the rust, dirt dauber mud packed inside of everything, old paint, stripped bolts, missing parts, rusty shafts, and nothing moved. I couldn't buy parts online from a long gone Boice Crane parts house, so I shopped around and made stuff to get it back to life. This machine is a beauty and a treasure. It can drill steel and wood and has seven different speeds. This restoration took me about four months doing the work and buying parts online.

Nice. It's good to see folks bring old machines back to productive work.
