The only thing is history that even comes close to when the cabinet door became unseized and swang open to reveal a full set of tooling , was Howard Carter opening Tutankharmun's tomb :drool: :drool: but far as I know he did not find a Pratt 4 jaw so you still edge it by a mile :thumbup:
Welcolme to the Worship Guild of Harrison lathe owners :clap:
Cheers Mick

Mick he'll need it fully stripped down and repainted a nice Pink or Purple just so it doesn't clash with yours :beer:

It will have to be green,John loves green on machines,it's his favourite colour :lol: :lol:
Bigbadbugga:
Just watched the nightcap, much better format with it being one part.
Looks like a nice upgrade from the boxford.
sbwhart:
Nice score John
I can see some nice working coming from it.

Hi John,
Hope all is going well for Debs and yourself.
Surprised no-one has aked "What are you doing withe the Boxford"?
I know you are super productive what with work/the workshop/the video productions but even you couldn't run two lathers at once!!
Plus it would take up all the walking space in the shop!

Fletch,I forgot that you also have an L6.
Which phase converter package do you use to run the original 3 hp motor?
I've still got the original 3 phase motor for mine in storage,but currently have a 2 horse single phase fitted.....OZ.
