getting real close to complete. i decided to put a new switch in as long as  i had all of the wiring and cord undone. there goes another 5 bucks.......

switch, cord, wheels, bearings, paint, a few fasteners from inventory and it is starting look better. oh yea plenty of cheap labor as well.

it still needs something to finish it off. that will have to wait for another day but here is a little teaser.

Nice, I have a 1/3 hp version, I called the company and they still have a few parts left. You might get lucky.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

I like how that looks in the silver paint. You sure don't waste much time on your winter projects. By the time I get done thinking about mine it is spring.

Very nice work!! 

I've got an old King grinder, which I have heard is the same as a Wissota.  Great grinder but I need to find the covers for the ends of the shields.

Real nice, you wanna make sure you give it lots of clear coat though.
Silver paint always wears off very easily.

SK,

Very nice work.  Good eye & good score?
