- Well, there is the guy who advertizes in FWW (at least some of the older
- issues) that is in Olalla WA (Yes, the Vashon, Fauntleroy, Southworth ferry, and
- a 1/2 hour drive.)
-
- I think the company name is northwest woodworking tools or something like that.
-
- This guy restores all of the old tools. He has 50" resaw bandsaws with 10,000
- fpm blade speeds. He has 16' lathes (yes, 16' long beds with a 40" swing)
- but he also has all of the other stuff too. When he gets an order, he strips
- the machine totally down, rebuilds and repaints every part, and then ships it.
-
- A little on the pricey side, but he has tools of quality that will still work
- as good as new when your great great grandchildren start to use them.

- (BTW, stevenj, if you are ever in west seattle, you might come by my house,
- and see my drillpress, It is an anderson brothers, articulating head with a
- rotating table that I bought from dave miller in lynwood. Dave is the guy that
- makes most of the underwater chainsaws that are around. (he refits them to run
- on air.)

- John.
-
- So, in any case, they are not ALL in Vermont.
