Hi,
The other day someone here posted a vintage 1934 ad for a Delta band saw, very cool. It so happens a fellow woodworker friend recently bought a 1950's vintage Delta band saw and has been dousing it with restoration TLC. You know that honeymoon period right after buying a significant tool for your shop.....
So I got the idea to make him a gift by taking the ad, decoupaging it to a piece of plywood, age it with some tinted shellac and call it shop art for the wall. Should look pretty cool hanging on the wall right behind its own descendant saw (which looks no different than the one in the ad by the way.
I have stuff like this all over my shop walls. Cheers,
