Hello,
I spent this afternoon learning how to turn metal on a lathe - a Colchester Student 1800, real vintage quality. I've turned high-tensile steel pipe and a piece of aluminium which was a lot easier!
Not sure why the edge is bored, I was just using scrap metal because it was free
Centred and then bored out, profiled and done!
Then I found this in a skip
So a pretty good afternoon! Saw needs a choke lever, filter, spark plug and starter cord before I can work out why it was in the skip, but worth having than not as I love playing with stuff!
