I finally got the lathe into its final position a couple of weeks ago. Everything now works how it should.
I've done a couple of jobs on it. Made a new handle for the on, off, reverse lever and a new handle for the tail stock. Both items where missing when I got it.
It's been a bit of a learning curve with it, having never used a lathe before, snapped a couple of parting tools and I'm starting to get my head around grinding new tool.
