Extremely good work Fletch - always have a soft spot for old machinery recovered from the brink :thumbup: |

Hi Fletch you have made a brilliant job of restoring your lathe. How long did it take? I restored an old 5 inch lathe quite some time ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it, I couldn't leave it alone once I had started. Have you got any projects planned for it? Cheers David |

I was the same Dave its addictive you don't want to stop. It took about 6 weeks in all because I refilled the gearbox with fresh oil but it was a mess inside I will try and post some pictures |
