Not a Shed, but a garage. My Lathe is an Old Machine. It's a Myford ML7 built in 1949 and one of the initial machines to be sold on the Home Market.
From 1945 - late 1948, all machines were Exported to try and make a tiny dent in the Country's crippling Debt from the war.
I bought this in 1986 and was in a fairly rubbish state and many worn parts. Fully rebuilt.
Known as a 3. 1/2" Lathe, it will swing 9" dia in the Bed Gap. About 18" between 'Centres'.
Many parts replaced with new and now have lots of Attachments to cover most jobs.
I have another Micro Lathe US made called a 'Peatol' and is perfect for small fine tolerance work down to 0.0004".
Purchased this in 1984, it's still good as new and also has many Attachments
I learnt how to work on and use these Machines with books and practice, which allowed me to start on projects like this 1 inch scale coal fired Traction Engine-
I have a Light Milling Machine now as well, so have more versatility.
