You are doing a very nice job on this mill
I am patiently waiting [not really] for you to get to the head
I am stuck trying to figure out how the brass fork of the downfeed goes back together
Really great progress, especially with a wee lad in the house.
But gotta tell you: I kinda miss the green paint!
Did I miss it somewhere where you explain how you are refinishing the natural metal parts? Are you just buffing? Looking great!
Your "oil nipples" look to be regular standard grease zerks. I think you would be light years ahead installing a one shot oiler. Not all that expensive, or hard to do, and so much easier to use. Mike
