I found this picture on the internet. A gentleman named Seth Steichart apparently owns it. It is not my picture nor is it my machine. I used to operate 3 of these in the late 70's to make golf clubs with. They were wonderful machines to operate. I have a great amount of admiration for Old machinery like this ever since. This was originally a Shoe Last Copy Lathe, but we turned it into a Golf Club Head copy lathe. I've made thousands of golf clubs on a machine like this.
