Hi from the life in the slow lane

Hello and welcome to the forum, lots of interesting stuff going on here.

As Sparky says, limiting picture size helps others to see what you are doing, 640x480 gives pretty good resolution yet limits the amount of data we are shifting about  :thumbup:

Hi and thank you all for the welcome. I have just looked at the picture size and  :doh: yes it's a bit big!!! I will post something that can be recognized as a picture and a couple of the bikes too. I will give a better description of the lathe also, as I would like to find out a bit more about it.

hi and welcome

Here we go again with some resized pictures, so I hope I don't take up half the website!!

The lathe is a Neilson & Wintner from Denmark, it's a gap bed type, 10", back geared and tumble reverse. It has change wheels for screw cutting (should tax my brain with the calculations, no reference guide with the lathe) and a power cross feed. It appears to have been well looked after and has some wear in the bed, but very little as far as I can see :clap: If any one knows about these lathes, please let me know. I think it's a South bend copy???
As for the bikes one is a Matchless G3ls 1955 and t'other is a 1960AJS 650 CSR, I also have a pile of pieces and various boxes that should end up as a 1951 G9 Matchless, slow process :hammer:
