John Hill:
 :beer:  John gave me some good advice on another site when my lather first arrived and I followed him here!

I have a modest workshop in New Zealand but practically no experience to go with it.  My most recent acquisition has been a lathe from the Great Chinese Generic Lathe Company, it looks like this one


So far I have made on it:

1. a left hand thread on a piece of water pipe (that was a mistake, it should have been RH!)
2. a morse taper and mandrel from an old Isuzu half shaft.
3. a adapter to connect my Pentax camera to a 500mm f1:4 Sigma mirror lens
4. a few buckets of swarf.

Glad you followed John here. I'm sure you'll like it. We have a light air about us here and love to  :poke: at each other to past the time of day.

But there are rules and I see you've followed the first rule:  :worthless:

The second rule is that you will get  :proj:

And you need to pass this  :mmr: on to others of the same interest so they will follow. The collective is watching you.  :borg:
