Jeez, how big is your shed that you can 'find' such things?
didn’t someone else find a rotivator they forgot they had!?
Yebbut, its only a little one, and I'd happily swap it for a lathe or a baike. (Even a Harley..

LOL
But you have a lathe, bikes and no space.
I need a lathe and I have space-ish.

Looks like an early 1970's basketball era shovelhead in a hard tail frame. What's the air cleaner made from ?

I’m not a Harley fan, or cruiser/chopper for that matter whilst I appreciate the aesthetics and skill there just not for me.
I do like street scramblers and brats but prefer the minimalist clean lines look

Ironically I have just found my father's 12x40 Kershaw bins, agreed not worth anything but very nice to look through.Also Barr and Stroud - Wray and Kershaw.
Sadly all forgotten now but some true bargains around. Quality binoculars for £40 that actually outperform modern ones costing £2000

I'd love to build another bike, just to chug along on some back country roads reminding me of earlier times in my life; only memories now, and a few old photos in my wallet.

I bit the bullet today on a 3 axis Sinpo DRO from Ebay for my SBox Chinese milling machine, the same as @pete fitted to his lathe. I haven't told the missus yet as it's her birthday (and Hitler's) and she is still pleased with me for buying her a new Kindle.
Cool!
I hope you ordered the mill version

Yes, and it has bought the value of my mill up to £375 from £15.
I have been looking at them for years and Saturday I started mulling it over again, did a search on here, looked at the one you bought this morning and followed suit from the same supplier. I have a few bits I want to make and a DRO will make life easier as the dial graduations drive me mad they are so odd and put me off using the mill.Just an aside, do you still have that lovely variable drive unit you were selling?

Thought I would ask as I want to lower the speed on a wood bandsaw, could not afford it back then.
