Well it’s gone to a new home to be recycled by Peter. He was able to give me a lesson clearly knows his stuff and it’s a proper bitsa. He can make use of some of the parts which is a good thing. I’ve made a new friend so all is well in the world.
I certainly can make use of it and happy to pay a bit rather than take it for free. It was a real pleasure to meet you and as it turns out we have more common interests than just an old lathe.
