the home shop before SS?
I'm curious... pre-war, what did a power-driven shop look like in the typical working class basement or shed? hand tools I can picture, but were there good choices for wood and metal working using electricity?

Here are the guts of the AOSmith 1/2 HP reversible motor. I am out of my element... other than blowing it out and replacing the bearings and power cord - what maintenance should I do while it's cracked open?

Looking for a new book (novel)
Trustee from the Toolroom was an excellent book and the only one I can find so far that gets close to our hobby (the main character has a basement machine shop and he meets a woodworker later on) Does anyone have any suggestions? SWMBO is asking me for Xmas ideas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust...
