Nice job.

You may not be aware of it, but the picture of the Hasher that you
showed is incomplete. The chopping blades worked inside a round tin
tub, which had a gear on its base and was rotated by a pawl with every
stroke. It's really a handsome machine - green paint, IIRC, with
pinstriping. People in Athol used to refer to the original factory as
"the Hasher".

One small point - the blue used to check flatness is not Dykem, but
Hi-Spot blue. It's a paste, not a fluid. Dykem may actually make one,
but when most machinists refer to Dykem they mean the lacquer-type
layout fluid.
