what a lovely clean lathe Richard.
The last time i used a lathe was when i was a school about 38 years ago , i manage to get an A level grade 1 in metal work . working with the lathe was one of my favorite subjects at school & i managed to build up quite a good relationship with the teacher , so much so i managed to take his daughter out on a date . & WOW she was Hot .
What is the story on the Steam engine , do you have anymore pics of it , ? How big is it ?
