Boice Crane Spindle Shaper

This is an old spindle shaper my father in law restored to excellent working condition and then gave it to me. I've been using it for several years in my shop mainly running raised panels with it. I'm not certain about the year this was made, this model seems to have been manufactured for a long time at least between the mid 1930's and the mid 1960's. I had to "adapt" the fence to my dust collection system, not very pretty but fairly effective. http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt52/burkbuilds/Woodworking%20machines/VariousWoodworkingEquipment002.jpg I've had some trouble trying to upload photos to this site, but this link should let you view the machine on photobucket.
