Jeanie/Carl #117 开云体育 Hi: ? Just joined your little group, and new to the "how to" so hopefully this comes out.? Guess will just post a pic and a short "who am I". ? Bought this little lathe "many" years ago at an estate sale, all in pieces.? The restoration is still going on and probably will till the end.? It was a bench model, Joe at Plaza machinery in Vermont (nice folks to do business with) had a cabinet, I built the wood draws inside, etc, etc. ? Been turning for a few years, I'm 50, but by no means an expert.? Do an odd job now and again, would like to do more to support my habit. ? Current project is the 5c collect chuck that was listed in the HSM (I think it was) and hopefully will have completed in a few more days. ? Anyone out there from southeast TX. ? Carl ?
Paul R. Hvidston #119 开云体育 Welcome Carl, ? Your restoration job looks excellent. You have a real beaut' there. It looks like a V-belt on the spindle. How's that work for you compared to a flat belt? I see you also have the tail stock turret. very cool. What's the bed length on your SB? Thanks for sharing your lathe with us, and please share your 5C collet project with us when you're finished. That one is high on my list after restoring my 9" SB. ? Paul R. Hvidston Upland, CA
