Impressive home made lathe
I have been helping Borys cleaning up his father in laws tools.
I wanted to share some pictures of the amazing lathe Frank made.
Frank was a toolmaker and he constructed the lathe from patterns then castings.
We started off looking at this lathe and not being able to identify what make it was.
We then discovered the wooden patterns that matched the lathe we where looking at.
The lathe is about the size of a myford 7 and very well built.
Hand scraped ways.
Custom made gearing.
Amazing to see the dedication to a project and olde world craftsmanship.
