Rhodes Shaper Restoration (part 1)

My affliction with collecting old iron and vintage machine tools has led me down the path of restoring this 1920-something Rhodes 7" metal shaper....Because shapers are cool? This one has some interesting modifications to it. In this video, I break it down, evaluate everything, clean it, paint it, and put it back together. Part 2 of the restoration can be found here:    • Rhodes Shaper Restoration (Part 2)   If you like what I'm doing here and find some value in it, consider supporting my work on Patreon: www.patreon.com/Jeremymakesthings I promise I'll still mostly make stuff out of rusty junk and not just buy shiny things with your money.
