No. It was the owner's brother. He was selling long guns to his amish fellows. The foundry is just fine.

You should consider calling Cattail Foundry in Gordonville PA. They will pour anything cast-iron for you, except canons. They are Amish, so no internet, just good old fashion letters and sometimes they even answer the phone, but they do great work.

That'd be me looking for a set of cast iron legs. I've been looking for a long time. I've seen the Grizzley legs, but as others mentioned; expensive! The legs for the older SBs have a very unique and narrow top mounting plate of 6"x6". None of the third-party examples I've seen have that kind of mounting plate. Luckily, I have another 11" lathe to measure, and was able to create a set of drawings for a local shop to fabricate a set of legs out of 1/2" steel plate. I sent them the drawings. Still waiting on a price. I'm sure they won't be cheap...but I want to try and match the SB legs if I can. If the price is out of sight; plan B is to look at making a replica of the SB wood bench. The SB bench appears doable and it won't need to be very big as my lathe is a 11x3 with the integral splash pan. Fingers crossed on the fabrication price.
