I'm all about leaving it as it was built, but unfortunately someone painted the guard and stand so I had to paint those. Everything else was dismantled and cleaned back to original. Pics will come when I'm done.

I wonder how hard it would be to have the apprentice marks brazed over and the table put on a mill to flatten it?

Someone had already painted these parts white and the only paint I had was white so I went with it.
