Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

OK, so the link didn't seem to work. Sorry.
It's a small shop moulder. The web site is http://www.williamsnhussey. Or you can just search for Williams & Hussey if you'd like to.

I don't have one and I don't like it!
(the fact that I don't have one that is)

You're a funny guy Brother T.,
Maybe you could get one and let me know if it's worth a flip.

I hope the machine is not as difficult as adding the stupid link.
Try this:

By God, that's IT! Linkage!
Ed,
Nice to see you stop by! I used to have a W&H, if you keep it running & making trim and dollars for you its a nice machine. I ended up selling mine due to lack of use. At the time most builders I worked for just used off the shelf trim. If I remember right I sold it for the same price I paid used for it after having it for seven years! Happy New Year! Stop by more often.
i've had the W&H for 5 yrs. rebuilt from the ground up, and i love it granted it has it limitations 3/4 " depth , 6"and a little more for the width. i would suggest the the stand and the elliptical jig got both within the month i had the thing up and running. go with 220 volt wiring. and keep the bearing resivior full of oil. although you could build the stand ,but i looked at my time spent to what my time's worth.
why the W&H works for me so well , is my work is 90% restoration. i use a guy from florida new york for my knives, the price varies from 60-100$ an inch depending on the profile. but william and hussey has a nice inventory of profiles.and with some research you can find better bargains. i built a box for my knives (pictures follow). i got a flier there a woodworking show the package with stand ,molder, jig,$ 2200 pricy but in after thinking about it well worth it ......my 2¢.....bear

I don't own one but have used a local unit - ran t&g flooring, shoe mold, and more - I can think of nothing to complain about, unless it's the price of custom cutters - an elegantly simple, useful, versatile machine -
I borrowed one from a neighbor and ran about 5,000 ft. of trim for our house. We used poplar with 1/2" roundover for all casing and base. We added a cove to the base as it was 7" high and needed a detail. 7" was the absolute max width we could run. The machine ran well, although 1/2" roundover router bit gave a smoother cut. We (I) sanded all material after it was machined. It's been over a year since I ran the trim and neither owner or I have needed it since. May be a good rental business for someone?
