What are we looking at? Are you polishing the top face to be usable again?
Yep, just decking the top to make it smooth and flat. Had been forgotten in a barn for 30 years.
It’s looks like it’s in remarkably good condition for 30 years in a barn!
What comes next after machining the top?
I flipped it over actually, try to get the bottom parallel but I gave up after a few passes, it would have taken more than I was willing to cut.
