Ohio Vintage Jointers

Heavy cast-iron jointers, dealer tags and vocational-school provenance.

Ohio machinery context

Heavy cast-iron jointers, dealer tags and vocational-school provenance. Preserve maker plates, school or factory records, dealer tags, auction photographs and local history.

Inspect for real use

Ohio machines may come from factories, vocational schools, cabinet shops, farms or estates. Prior use changes wear, guarding and electrical history.

Plan removal

Heavy cast iron, basements, loading docks, narrow doors and old floors require careful rigging and transport.

Preserve the story

Crescent and Shopsmith connections give Ohio an unusually strong woodworking-machine history worth documenting.
