New Shaper
My "new"South Bend Shaper is at home in the shop undergoing a thorough cleaning. It appears to be in excellent shape with the exception of two belts that need replacing. I'll send some photos when I get it up and running.

Re: please help fab slide valve(no machine tools)
Get a copy of "High Speed MarineSteam Engine" by A. A. Rayman. He described filing and drilling and chiseling out a "D" valve. Use a good grade of cast iron and make sure your cold chisels are SHARP. Drill a row oof holes around the perimeter inside a scribed line for the cavity,...
