How old is old? Mine is 24 years old.

You did a swell rehab job on the lathe and getting me to want yours.

So that is what a navy sailor looks like.
Smirk   I always figured all they did was stand around.

I enjoy watching these old machinery films.

For your viewing pleasure. Grab the popcorn.

Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

Yes but they do have an automatic stop feature if the operator hurts himself.

Thanks for showing them.  I am having a bad head day and forgetting how post.  I deleted my links since you did the pics

This isn't really old (it's only 64) and it's not really a lathe (it's more of a drill press that's laying down on the job) but it did let me make enough pieces to put a foot into the vortex.

I'm just the second owner and I got a good price because the paint on the belt guard has a scratch. The scratch is too small for my camera to focus on so I didn't think $50 was too bad.

Little did I know that chucks, multiple jaws, gouges, sharpening jig, steady rest, centers, and even a new Nova lathe were in my future !!

Vortex indeed.
We do segmented turning, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

It's not only in my past, it's in my present and future, too. It is currently a drum sander to smooth up segment rings and is destined to become a variable speed sharpening station. Actually, it's a pretty versatile tool. It's just not real stout by today's standards.
