    Default 60s Pattern shop, best of Oz.

    A few pics of some classic 60s Oz machinery.
    Sorry about the order they are in , shows how haphazard my picture taking and editing skills are.

    Henry,

    Thanks for sharing, a nice collection of machines. I assume the mitre guage is from the Barker double disk (is it original)? An interesting bobbin sander, can only really find one mention of Booth and Blades with a search, sounds like they specialised in pattern shop machines?

    Cheers,

    Camo

    Chris Vesper highly rates Booth & Blades gear according to this post from a few years ago.

    Seems that they had a registered trademark of BB in the 60s but it was expired in the late 80s.
