I have one that is unattended - the table is a train wreck as far as veneer goes. I am waiting for Rodney to do a tutorial on cleaning it up. I would stand that machine on end and let Wilbur (my 4 year old DGS) baptize the parts that need to slide apart with some oil.... Then go look at Rain's tutorial on the stop motion on his blog...
