[Shop-talk] Post Drills

[Dave C]

OWWM.org  (Old Woodworking Machines dot Org) is a forum dedicated to old 
wood and metal working machines and equipment.  General rules for 
discussion are for machines that have been out of production for more 
than 20 years and NOT produced in Asia.  Post drills come up for 
discussion occasionally, and I have posted about my own Buffalo Forge 
post drill which I restored about ten years ago.

Another resource is Vintage Machinery.  It is more of an information 
data base, but there will be numerous entries for post drills. Champion 
Forge and Buffalo Forge were major manufacturers.
