Just more style and weight went to old machines and I tend to be drawn to that. I wish it was my machine but no it belongs to, or was restored by Shane Whitlock. If you ever need vintage machine inspiration for restorations goole his name and have a look through his website and blog. Be prepared to waste a few hours and drool on your keyboard.
I was around at a steam engineers place the other day and looking at his big surface plate it look pretty standard, but when I looked under it I was amazed all the supporting ribs finished with ogees and it had a mock riveted edge and strapping. It was beautiful in detail that added nothing to the function nor would it be seen in daily service but was a testament to the pattern makers ability and craftsmanship.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

I came across Shane's site after I found my saw. He has, might still have, a fully restored 36" Enterprise. His posted asking price was very reasonable. I would have made an offer if I thought there was any hope of selling my saw.. I do not need two saws, but was/am still interested in the upper wheel tracking cam, but he never responded to my email.
Most of these old machines were not meant for casual use that is for sure.
