Harrison L5 lathe rebuild

[Micktoon]

Thanks for all the nice comments lads I am glad the project is of interest to people out there, I have watched plenty other peoples projects and enjoyed them so its nice to know I am putting a bit back into the system

Hi SteveC , The lathe had the chuck guard on it when I got it and it is handy when using suds , just stops a lot of it going all over and also making sure it gets back to the pump, as Tom says as long as it is out the way and also not in the way, its there when you need it and no bother if you dont need it. I am planning on keeping the lathe 'forever' so doing the likes of the splash guard are worth doing and jobs you would never end up doing unless it was all stripped down, so its now or never really .
Tom I did the radii by first trying to roll the bend in bending rolls but it was too thick for the rolls , so I just used them to clamp it and just pushed hard on the long side of the bend until it looked about right, the sheet was not tight to the roller but just bent in a nice curve one of them rare times where you think .... Umm that worked out well

Snailpowered , I cant say I have seen the film but do have an image of the thing you are on about ...... a kids film where allsorts of objects came alive I think ?
I got a bit of the electric panel done today but will post tomorrow when its in place .
Thanks again Mick.
