Now, that is an impressive display of ingenuity!
Makes my collection of MDF and ply look... sad...

Looks way to complicated for a little brain like mine Ray. Too many things happening at once, like rubbing your nose and scratching your bum all at the same time
.
Very nice looking old school look though, way cool

If its stored out of view then they should give it to someone or group such as yours where it can be used and shown. I hate stuff like that. Even Aunt Mabels old tea pot etc should be out and used not shut away in a cupboard
. If they die in action its better than never being seen.

Bronte it goes to show that old and new can work together old Holtz and Even would have been right into and leading the way I reckon if around to day. Just look at some of the names from that period who still have business today.

Its this level of workmanship that had me interested in OT rather than actually using the OT lathes.
Many years ago I did some interesting machine building and designing of smallish QA equipment found it facinating.
Looking at Ot lathes and today equipment I dare say we could show some significant improvements on manufacturer and most likely design as well. With out going down the track of a full blown CNC control system.
Machine tools required? Well I reckon you could get away with a Toolroom lathe and a small quality universal mill. Both might need a few accessories such as digital readouts, rotary tables etc. Doable? Yes I think it would be less than a new family car to set up the workshop.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

I agree Hughie I remember seeing in the Canberra Mint a machine similar if not an actual Holtz amazed me every visit I did, I believe it was used for design of coins and medals.
I was following this fellows re-build recently of a nice OT lathe questioned him at the end as to how he had used it. He had not as an OT machine.

Ah yes my visits to H&F dreams of lathe and mill............maybe a good grinder and set of files a scraper and shed big enough might be on order.
