Simply BE-A-UTIFUL! Good on ya for keeping the old iron in use. Watch out though. First it's a lathe. Then an old horizontal mill. Then maybe a shaper or a big camel back drill press. Then a planer. Next thing you know your collecting antique machine tools and having to contemplate on building a bigger shop just to house them

Default up and running

Got the lathe in her new spot in the wood shop and turned a couple of goose calls and a sample 7" walnut newel post (can't turn stock this heavy on either of my wood lathes) Works great. Will post a few pics soon.
