Hi Lads , got some more done with the lathe, its looking like a lathe again now , just finishing bits to fit then a good check over and adjust this that and the other, test then probably re adjust things.
This is what it looks like now, still the end covers to fit , that horrible old maroon bakalite forward reverse knob for the power feed needs replaced and the screw cutting badges still to be done and the steadies , collet chuck etc to clean and paint, coolant hose.

Very nice Mick. It probably looks better than it did right from the factory.
