I rebuild/semi restore old power tools then sell them as one of my too many hobbies, primarily 1960 vintage Craftsmen drill presses but other things now and then. Here are some before and after pics of a Craftsman wet grinder on what I believe is a Delta stand. Added oil cups and brass and stainless washers to the grinder, made an adjustable motor mount out of oak. First attempt at nickel plating the unique bolts on the stand.IMG_0159.jpegIMG_1460.jpegIMG_1458.jpegIMG_1459.jpegIMG_1461.jpegIMG_0112.png

Spent the day cleaning the fuel system on one of the mopeds. 1981 Motron Medalist (Marinelli)

The last time it was run was 10 years ago. Need to get a replacement petcock unless I can get it to stop leaking with a custom nylon seal

Looks pretty nice. Are you gonna ride it, be careful the cagers don't see you and that thing ain't fast enough..!

This is the only non-honda moped. The others are Honda Express's. We have 4 mopeds total. Haven't ridden this one since 2014.

Either going to ride them or sell them

I vaguely remember playing with one back in the 60s but the traffic out on siesta key was light in those days.
