We even get that "special" lubricant here in the States, Rob.  It didn't look right on the
lathe, so I did something else with it.  Worked well enough for that purpose, though...
It's the only shop lube I keep in the fridge.

They look first cabin, Rob.  Beautifully made.  If someone asked what a machinist does, I could just point them to these pictures.
Excellent work!

come on Rob I know you have been asked so many times but WHAT TYPE OF CAMERA HAVE YOU GOT ? no body does work THAT neat all the time   :bow:

very very nice work , but I have just sold all my equipment now after seeing you last two and a half projects (mill still not finished unfortunately) as I now realise that I am just a bodger and will never make a metalworker as long as I have a Hole in My (you all know the rest). :bang: :bang: :bang:

seriously nice work.

That's all well and good Rob.... But will it fit my lathe?

I don't think so! Useless it is!  :poke:    :lol:


Nice shiny stuff there chief  :thumbup:


shame you're not hitting Harrogate this year.... Totally screwed up the last time and only got about 3 words in!  :Doh:




Hope it all works as well as it looks!?  There'd best be a users manual and an instructional video to accompany the end product!  :coffee:

Lovely job Rob :)

Can the spring loaded locating pin be locked back (for use like a rotary table/ 3 axis  etc.), on your version?

 (I'd like to modify the Victoria on I have so if you have pictures...)
