stew there is allot of little differences in the north american and english engine's. the one thing big difference is the english engines are far more polished and allot more fine details were as the north american engines are all just plain jane, dull and drab.

john that indeed is a massey pacemaker tractor, the museum is in the midst of restoring that tractor as we speak so i might have some better pictures of it in the new year.

bernd: bill is one heck of a nice guy to talk to, he will share all his knowledge and he holds nothing back. his shop is very neat and tidy. he made two scale model hardinge lathes, one is a tool room lathe and the other is a turret lathe.

here's a picture of bill with his turret lathe



and his tool room lathe



these little lathes are exact copies of the full size and they function just like the full size lathes.

if you go to  http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Huxhold.htm  you can see more of bill's amazing work.

Bernd:
Chuck,

Thanks for those pictures. I saw him with the turret lathe at the show. He was making minuature goblets from brass. I believe he uses no castings in making those lathes also.

Bernd
