Makes my lathe look pocket sized!
You'd better wear a helmet in case the belt breaks.

Cheers

CRAP ON A CRACKER! Now THAT'S a lathe! :confused

It's cool to see old machinery like that, and imagine what was made with it over the years... Kinda like that steam engine that Jay Leno installed in his garage recently.

I've seen an old one similar in size that was being used for turning decorative house columns for porches etc. It's older than the metal lathe I just picked up too... I just got an old Southbend lathe from my Grandfather with a 1923 casting date on it.
