I started to wonder, and decided you had a second lathe; then I saw you taking the old parts out again and it took me a second to realize that you had A) dismantled the lathe and determined what needed to be done B) REASSEMBLED everything and made the parts C) dismantled AGAIN and put the new parts in place That’s quite a bit of effort. Bravo sir. It’s kinda funny that you can use a machine with poor tolerances to make new parts for the same machine that improve its tolerances.
Good day Sir. My name is Grant. I am from 🇨🇦 and I appreciate your restoration work as I too work with antique lathes. The beauty of a lathe is that you can recreate every other machine including the lathe if you have a little imagination and a pocket full of patience.
Fascinating to watch. I've never done metalwork but I love to watch experts create things from a lump of metal. You are, in my opinion' such an expert, mainly be. cause you go that extra step to explain what you are doing
I've always heard of the color "Gunmetal Gray" so I assumed "gunmetal" was a steel alloy. When I saw the brass color I had to look it up and its also known as Red brass in the USA and was originally used for gun barrels.
I felt the same way - only the other way round! I knew the material as 'bearing bronze', bronze with a high sulphur content, ideal for self-lubricating bearings. I was then very surprised to learn that it is called 'gun metal' in English.
Great work.
So cool!
Great Job! Love your Videos!!

Thanks! Great honor for me, especially because i am not an expert. Only relaxing with hand work after a day of brain work!
Gracias por mostrar y si el torno es una belleza! Saludos
Beautiful machine and nice work! Thanks for sharing. 7:40 - kitty cat? :)
