    Default It was a nice sunny morning and I had the camera nearby

    A bit of artistic endeavour.

    The worst that can happen is you will fail.
    But at least you tried.

    Yes I use it.

    It's about 1935 vintage and was one of the first Schaublins made in the original factory at Villeneuve.

    It was a wreck when I bought it from a guy at Gawler, and after reworking all the dovetails extensively, it machines very accurately.

    It's like an old motor bike, it's nice to look at, even when it's not doing anything
