[Gritineye]

Came across this big ole boy quietly resting on a farm today, just needs an old tractor with a flat belt take off..

Digger bucker for scale

Nice. Shame it hasn't got its gearset

In future stop being so anal about leveling the lathe up in your workshops

Who knows what's in the barn?

That faceplate would be a good welding table. A rotating one.

I’m not sentimental about belt drive poop but that’s got age and needs saving

Or coffee table. Maybe dining..?

You're just used to having starter, main and sweet served all at the same time by the butler!

For the single man!

With a reinforced concrete floor.

My dad had one for years sat on top of a 4ft piece of 4in wall pipe. It was a pain everything just fell through the hole in the middle. Never to be seen again

That’s my main gripe with my welding table with holes in.

I have a 2’ faceplate to make a table from. Abom79 made a good one.

On the same plate to reduce washing up time.

This chap is just a few miles along the road; he's only I'm his late twenties or early thirties but his his workshop (a converted barn) is filled with old and very much working lathes, mills and drilling machines...

Angus Bowden-Smith on Instagram: "Built myself a new table for the workshop. The face plate is just over 4ft in diameter, tube is 250mm round and base plate is 30mm thick!"
