Bummer. Looks like they have managed to bury the history of D.B. Smith sprayers online too. I did see they started with (not started) the brand in 2015. I found a 1969 D,B. Smith sprayer catalog on ebay, and I'm not sure what year this one is from but it looks older than the 1969 one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/285119656196?itmmeta=01HW822366YRZMWENYWQ0FKYCJ&hash=item426274b104:g:cr0AAOSwcvtjzxqh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0EQZmPvDjSj0ITJkziZ92cAX4mAnvNcgwk0XT6eaMrgRK9p3uc2nHQAECXqJj222S4VI9oAxDbFNnkcTc3pW1Q6k5BQ4pX8yKpcyO0siKcfG6RDNUzeuX8rUvC5CIk2GynSjdGLH%2F01OhaET8S425XI%2FCTjUvBJfTd81ZE7PO56nrzPFiLHsDmg1boHwmiIIdIu8FTQTFdIOnxvN39SUeIW2mVj3hfu3ViC4%2FL7An61f5u2lrMotSSnm2hJHCos6Tfb%2BuxvEJ%2F1%2FpxUnqizXmFk%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5iziILiYw Looks like they bought Indian fire pumps too, which I saw in that old Smith catalog. I also own two of those. I hope they don't buy B & G. -

Nice work on thise curves! Have you considered stringing through the miters? The one pictured might be fine with a sawdust & glue fill,but weren't you going to string between the inner field and the border, anyway? -
Tom, the one you recommend is also made by fountainhead. It looks sturdy and appears to be long lasting. I could not find any warranty info. My best guess is that it is the same BS. Pay for freight. If the fee was obvious and up front I would be OK. But to hide it from the point of sale and advertise on the box 5 year warranty is deceptive. Maybe Fountainhead has a monopoly and i have no choice. I will see whatI can find. -
so, I scraped down the top, and one way or another it will end up "good enough". But while I think about that, I had to put the profile round the edge ... I'm sure there are router bits that would get all this done in 30 seconds ... but we're doing it the slow way here ... Curved moulding profiles are always slow. The profile needs two rabbets ... the first is 1/8 at the edge of the veneer, and with these thick veneers, after trimming the veneer I was almost there, just a quick pass with the router plane. The second rabbet is about 1/2 deep. First using the knife and a chisel to get a "wall" along the curve. That gives me something for the #71 to register against, so then repeated cuts with this, occasionally stopping to clear out the waste with a chisel until I'm down to the line. Once I have my rabbets, I need to make a bevel where the cove will go ... doing this with a chisel until I'm down to the line in both sides. Then I can cut the cove, first with a carving gouge, and then a scraper. The bead is done the same way, with a gouge and scraper. Then it's all cleaned up with sandpaper. And the top has a profile. It's only sanded to 60 grit at the moment, before I give it a final sanding, I have to decide what I'm doing with the ugly corners of the veneer edge banding. -
