Today I acquired...........

[KemppiFrog]

This:

Motor Standard. Came from the same place as my tractor, for free (sort of, I fixed his ride on mower the other day) This is big, stands three feet tall and has a 2T engine of about 15hp. Harrow included with the plough. Unused for over 20 yrs, but all there. Other neighbour cheerilly told me about the guy in the village who selected reverse by mistake on a similar one and it chewed him up...

Now I need a straw hat and dog to look the part.

Does a Fuller not normally have a solid body with a striking end and the handle goes around the outer?
Maybe I am thinking of a different thing?

This is what I imagine as a Fuller.

This sort of thing is a lot more fun when you have put a seat on wheels behind it.

Down it Portugal, few of my neighbours had cars or tractors, so just hooked a trailer behind the rotorvator and set off with the produce to market. Not too swift, but reliable.

I think your picture is correct. I’ve seen wooden handle ones also. Alec Steele uses them.
These are his own brand ones:

I'll have a look at it in a bit and see if I can see a name or logo on it.

I treated myself. With these and my EITB college books I should be all set to get back into turning!

Especially if the co pilot is Felicity Kendal.

A Fuller as I understand it makes a shape, like a round or something. If it's a bladed tool it's a hot cut, like a big cold chisel for cutting hot steel by striking either the tool or the steel onto the tool.

Maybe if it was 40 years ago.

The books are getting to be very dated but still have a lot of good info relevant to running an older lathe, and I gather some of the youngsters don't get on with the writing style but it is not a problem for someone in their fifties that grew up reading 1970's Practical Mechanic and the like.

Nothing other than what looks like AM crudely stamped on it.
This is the way up it’s been used.
