I wasn't sure if metal lathes were allowed on here, but since I shelved my wood lathe, this one has has been turning wood right along with metal.

I don't know how much longer I will have this lathe. It was given to me a while ago, and the guy who gave it to me suggested fixing it up and selling it to buy a better lathe.
I think thats what I'm going to do.

It's not a bad little lathe, but the ways are very worn, and it wasn't all that heavy to begin with.
I've got my sights on a Hendey, so if that comes through, out this one goes.

These pictures are a little old. Now it has a quickchange tool post, a four jaw chuck and some new handles on the tool carraige, two of them were broken when I got it.

This restoration took about 2 or 3 weeks, it was fun, but I'm looking forward to tackling that Hendey!

Edit
I added a current picture
