Pexto shear update

[outlaw]

About 9 months ago I posted on both here & the hamb looking for information regarding a Pexto shear that I acquired & was intending to restore. I have finished it & thought that I would post some pics of it. The main body of it I painted, but all the rest of the pieces I had powder coated. All the cross shafts, attaching hardware,& table top I cold blued. I tried to get the color as close to a color used on these in 1941 when this was made. I put it on casters as it weighs around 1200#'s & is a challenge to move. It works like new & shears 16ga steel (its max capacity) like butter. I am kinda proud of it & one guy I know says that I really "pimped it out". I included a pic of what I started with. Thanks for looking. Bill
