Delta Homecraft bandsaw restore
Thought I'd share some before and after shots of my latest bandsaw restoration project. I think she came out pretty well.. Now I have to tackle it's bigger brother sitting in my garage, an old 14" Rockwell/Delta.

Very nice restore on that saw.
Noting your location, what is the origin of most of the (older) machinery in your region? UK/British, USA, European,?
Regards

Both my old Rockwell Delta saw were made in the USA, these two are the only old machinery I have so I cannot say for sure that most of the machinery came from the USA back then. I do know there used to be a Rockwell Delta manufacturing plant here in South Africa. Most of my older hand tools are British though, I think there also used to be a Spear & Jackson factory here.
Cheers
