Hey,

Looks like a great site. I'm into just about anything to do with metal and machining....even play with a bit of casting.

I'm located in New South Wales, Australia

I'm currently setting my new workshop up and continuing work on the restoration of my 1937 Nuttal lathe ( amongst the never-ending list of new jobs that take my interest...)

Cheers,
Kev.

Hi Kev - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

How is the lathe restoration going so far? We love vintage machines.

Hi Jon,

Thanks, happy to be here.

The lathe resto is coming along slowly (read ...very slowly). I have recently moved which has slowed every 'play' thing down somewhat. It is pulled apart at the moment and I am just about to spray some paint around on the main body/apron/covers so I can then start putting it back together. I have a DC conversion ready to go on so I'll have variable speed control (and a RPM counter!)....bit special for an 80 year old lathe

Cheers,
Kev.

Very nice, sounds like a plan. Keep us posted.
