Yippee I have it

[Dalboy]

Well this was planned for Saturday as I had quite day today decided to go buy my new toy.
Now feel rough due to the heart problem(wife moaning saying I have done too much).
So after a short rest I will spend the next couple of days removing the old lathe and installing the new one. The reason it is out of the box was to make it easier to get in from the car as I could not lift it in the box.

This is good as it gives the boiler I am making time to dry before turning.

How long will it take to get dirty.

You should get yourself a little lathe, Pete. (Or a big one.)
I'm sure you wouldn't regret it. Great fun. It can be addictive, though.

What 1 piece at a time:hahaha:


As you may gather I have dismantled the old Draper lathe and have now assembled the Record, and I still can't use it I forgot to get the oil for the bearing. Never mind the wife to the rescue again she is now walking down to the local motor factors ( Now what would I do without her she is a gem but don't tell her)

All set up and waiting

Are the rods hollow or solid? If hollow, fill them with grout, it will help stability.
