For comparison, I included
pictures of MF No. 2 and MF No. 5 drills
side by side.
Size comparison:
MF No. 2 drill at the top
MF No. 5 drill at the bottom
Restored:
Cleaned, striped,
frame and main gear re-painted. Paint color is
matched to the original as close as possible.
Wood on all
handles cleaned. Cocobolo sanded and polished. Three coats of
BLO applied and thoroughly dried. The final
finish is six layers of Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil
Gunstock Finish Liquid. It is probably one
of the best high quality finish for exotic
hard wood.
The
side handle is made in domestic
hardwood,
stained with red mahogany and
finished with polyurethane. It is in
the shape of mushroom and it is detachable.
All exposed parts were polished to high
gloss. Greased, oiled, tuned
and checked. Great addition to your toolbox or collection.
Lovely Tool! |
