Picked up an old pin router. Do I NEED one?
Well, no ..
Can I USE one? Heck, yeah. Especially for the price.
But it had some rust problems. So I took it apart and
sandblasted everything then put some primer on it.
This is the first coat of paint, should look pretty decent.
I can even engrave with "V" bits for signs, but do I do signs?
I could..
Already had offers from 2 luthiers on it. Everyone else seems to
have moved on to CNC. But the speed factor and repeatability
bring several projects to mind.. some that I've had on the back
burner for years..
The yellow spots are from the rain .. it got a few drops on it when
I carried it from the truck into the shop. It started turning color
before the raindrops even dried..
Gonna be a fun project, but I'm torn between selling it or keeping it.
