Main frame and gear fully stripped, re-painted and baked.  Side and crank handles sanded, re-stained with red mahogany and painted with 3 layers of lacquer.  Main handle sanded polished and treated with BLO and 3 layers of wax.  Carnauba wax for a final coat.   Gear tight and very smooth.  Chuck disassembled, cleaned inside and out.  All inside surfaces polished, including jaws – for smooth operation.  Greased, oiled, tuned and checked.

Superb tool!
