A 1974 Wheel Horse B80 will join the herd in the workshop at the weekend. Bought and paid for this morning. More info to follow then.

Hi all, it's been a while!! Well..... Due to health issues, that time in life has unfortunately come when I can no long do any more builds in the workshop.. Sooooo The time has come to sell a few bits, the 1st being my Southbend Model 5 "Workshop" 9" lathe.. As you know this has done me very proud over the many many years I have owned it.. As you can see from the photo's the Lathe comes with a vast amount of tools, 3 and 4 jaw chucks, a facing plate, a center rest, Armstrong tool holder set, even the small drawed cabinet I keep the Lathe tools in. I made a "power cross-feed" do-dat years ago which works quite well and does save a lot of hand winding! The bench the lathe is bolted to can be part of the deal "if you want it" at no extra cost.. Be quite nice to have the space back.. The bench with the Lathe bolted to it measures 6ft long, 2ft 6" deep and 5ft 4" tall... Also bolted to the bench is a "quick change" (bits of WH's) system for changing pulley speeds, a lever is much faster than having to unbolt and move the pulleys each time you need to change speeds. If you don't want the bench the pulleys and motor can be easily taken off. If you have any questions please ask away.. Oh, I'm asking £400 ono for all the lathe stuff..
