    Help identifying small lathe with brass bed and carriage

    😂 I like the way you are thinking! If that was the case he broke the carriage as well and under those circumstances should have given up while he still had eyes and hands! Another thought from a mate who is a turner is that it could be a prototype from India but then why did it not get into...

    Help identifying small lathe with brass bed and carriage

    Headstock and tailstock and the 2 feet are not brass. If casting from patterns / with free brass -it would make sense to make everything from brass? It’s a strange one!

    Thanks I sent some pictures to Tony and it’s new one to him, it looks like it will feature in the “unknown lathes” section in due time

    Help identifying small lathe with brass bed and carriage

    You’re quite right, a bit out of proportion. I have some Adepts and a Little Goliath that are a little more dainty, if that’s the correct term😂

    Help identifying small lathe with brass bed and carriage

    It doesn’t look home made the bed is quite a sophisticated shape with a few pockets out of the base and very well finished, it’s a bit of a mystery!

    Help identifying small lathe with brass bed and carriage

    The bed is quite sophisticated for a home machinist. See hollows underneath There’s no lead screw so not a lot of point in machining it all out and it would be an impressive block of brass to start with. I think the paint will have to come off to see if there are any more clues hidden!

    making simple unfinished wood picture frames - what set up for a newbie?

    Just catching up with this and thought of something else- if buying an underpinner make sure that the required V nails are still available. Some became obsolete recently I only know as I picked up a treadle operated guillotine (magnolia version) and an underpinner together. This forum was very...

    making simple unfinished wood picture frames - what set up for a newbie?

    Get a mitre trimmer, Morso have best reputation and tend to be more expensive but other makes such as Orteguil and Magnolia can be picked up for not a lot of money, blades can be sharpened by firms advertising on eBay for about £20. This will allow roughly sawn 45 Degree ish pieces of frame to...

    Can anybody beat this for old equipment

    This G Boley screw head polishing machine arrived recently along with a little Lorch lathe. It appears to be solid brass and manually powered, quite an obscure find for me as I have never had any screws that needed polishing that would fit in the collets!!

    Good result, engine cranes are incredibly useful so long as load can be balanced. Good luck with your new machine 👍

    Viceroy Educator bed removal.

    It’s a fairly safe guess that it will come apart as it wouldn’t be made in one piece,I’ve had variousJubilees and Graduates made in the same era and they all dismantle. Take your dad’s old socket set and a few extension bars, maybe some penetrating oil and most importantly your string mate!🤣

    How far gone is too far gone for old wood lathes?

    I’m a bit late to the party. Only things I can add are that electrolysis works wonders freeing up seized brake calipers etc so could work on this if a suitably barge trough could be made. A mate dug a trench and lined it with visqueen to derust a steel bumper. £100 looks expensive for that by...

    Need to escape/reset

    I had 10 years teaching infants then in a strange career move went on to run secondary school workshops for 17 years. Now retired I miss the workshop banter as each week’s new initiative was unveiled!😂😂
