I have been busier than a double dicked dog. I have been rebuilding Lathes. I own a model A,b and a C Southbend. They all came to me well used and needing repairs. The Model A is the most desirable. I am doing a better than factory rebuild on them, just takes time. Here is a video of a guy restoring the exact model A I have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-pFPFNoMzI . Lathes along with Welders are some of the most useful tools to have.

Sweet.  I used a lathe like that at Renton Technical College a few years ago in a machinist class.  It looks the same but the one I used was at least ten feet long.  The same thing but bigger?  I suspect it came to the school by way of Boeing.
