    Vintage Hobart Slicer Restoration

    WoodCutter, old tractors are so cool. My Wife has heard me say more than a couple times that we need to move to the country so I can get a tractor. There's just something about restoring something old too, whether it's an old truck, car, motorcycle or tractor. Even a food slicer!

    Thank you Dave. Burnt ends are done! I've been standing in the kitchen making noises like a fat kid in a fudge factory. OMG! Melt in your mouth, hard to keep on a fork, I don't know if any of these will make it to the fridge.

    Vintage Hobart Slicer Restoration

    Killer weekend! Did a slab of baby backs (best I've ever done) and a butterflied chicken for lunch. By dinner time the brisket was ready, burnt ends still on the smoker. Oh yeah, worked on the slicer too! Yes, that is bondo! Primed. Painted. Oh, sure, the Q! So tender! So good...

    Vintage Hobart Slicer Restoration

    It's a Smithy CB-1239. I found it on Craigslist a few years ago sitting sitting on a couple 4x4s beside this Mennonite fella's barn. It was a pile of rust shaped like a lathe/mill combo. my wife thought I was crazy to offer him $1000. OK, crazy? I've heard that more than a couple times! Stupid...

    Thanks guys! Still taking baby steps, but it started looking like a slicer again today instead of a pile of parts. One more big piece still needs paint and a lot of polishing yet to do on a bunch of parts.

    Vintage Hobart Slicer Restoration

    I've been in the process of stripping and repainting a couple parts that just didn't come out the way I wanted. This is one that I felt like I needed to get better. I like how it's looking now. I got the motor housing painted. I'll give it a couple days to set before I start buffing it...

    No problem. I use a variety of tools and polishing compounds. This is my bench grinder with a 6" polishing wheel mounted to one side. Problem with this is the grinder is only a 1/2 horse and too easy to bog down. I use these smaller ones in my drill. Just depends on what part and how...
