Hey Firefyter-emt! Check this old lathe out!

Lee . . . . I came across this 1889 Barnes lathe in ebay . . . and thought you'd like to see it.

Now Lee, calm down. You remember what happened last time you hauled something that big in your jeep.

Ya Al, he'll love that one. Nice catch.

It has a nice look to it, but it has been very modified to make it a non-teadle lathe. (Man, a metal lathe that is foot powered!)

That curvy spoked pulley would look sweet with the spokes painted bright red against black though!
