Rexman Lathes
Not sure if this qualifies for antique or not, but I was recently given an old metal working lathe by a friend of a friend. Although partly dismantled & unused for many years I was assured it was in working order. Knowing absolutely nothing about metal working lathes, I set about restoring it &, after a few adventures, have now returned it to working order. Here's a handful of before & after pictures. Now all I have to do is learn how to use it & start making some stuff. Google tells me that this lathe, a Rexman, was built in Richmond Vic by a company owned by Rex Osman, probably sometime between the late 1930's & early 1950's, but that's all I can find. If anyone is able to provide any more information about Rexman lathes, I would love to hear from you.
