This machine was given to me by a group who wanted to see it eventually restored. This includes a 22" Band Saw/12" Table Saw/6"Jointer/Felloe Borer/Spoke Tenoning and Rim Rounding Machine. During inspection it appeared all parts are there though the photo does not show several parts which were stored in doors. This was owned by a gentleman who had a working Blacksmith shop and was used in the fabrication of wagon wheels. It is represented in the 1904 Parks catalog, pages 26/27. Though it is listed as a 12" saw it is capable of using a 14" blade. Additional photos upon completed.
Edit: After measuring the jointer it was determined that this is a 6" Jointer not the 12". For that reason this machine is the "Big 6" not the "Wagon Shop Special" which came with the 12" Jointer. The original entry was 4/2/14.
