VIDEOS: Gitty's 100 Year Old "Widow Maker!!!" 1914 Master Electric Co. "MoneyMaker" Doweling Machine
We just installed this massive machine, known by some as The Widowmaker. Actually called "The W. S. Hawker Dowel Machine a.k.a. The Moneymaker," this 100 year old machine is a 7.5HP, 3 phase dowel cutter from 1914.
We've got big plans for this massive beast, including cigar box guitar necks and even a new line of drumsticks.
VIDEO #1 is the raw footage of Gitty & the gang looking it over and pointing out the various features. (Scroll down to see VIDEO #2 where we actually fire this thing up!!!)
