Hi James
How is your restoration going? I have the same lathe, that i bought a couple of years, that i have started to restore this year (within my capabilities). I would love to see some pictures of yours if you have some.
i do actually have that lever tail stock mentioned above
Hi Simon, thanks so much for your message. Slowly is the answer. It is all stripped (apart from the tailstock) and 1st couple of coats of paint applied. I have scraped in the top, but still awaiting the funds to buy a bevel edged camelback straight edge, to allow me to get into the reference edges on the inside of the bed. It's on the list!
I'd love to see photos of yours too. I'll see if I can dig on out of the scraped top face.
James
