A month ago I got a really good deal on an old wood lathe that had been outside too long and was taken apart as far as you can take a lathe apart, if you only have a burnt fence post for tools. But, I got a good deal. Anyhow, the last few weeks I have been fixing this piece of work up. The first picture is just after I finally got the chuck mounted, [boy, could I have used a lathe to make parts]. The chunck of wood in there is going to be a handle for a weird tool to dip clay pots into a glaze mixture.
The second picture is the jack shaft mounted to slow the machine down.
The third picture is a four foot lathe taking shape.
