My First Lathe

[Smallfry]

I had a Boxford, and cabinet, in an upstairs flat in London in the 80s, as above it's strippable into bits you can carry
( hopefully with a mate to help if you get a cabinet stand)

I bet the neighbours downstairs loved you !

Where's 'Here'? In the unlikely event you are localish, I can show you a couple of different Boxfords and point out what to look for on them.

My Boxford has been dismantled and rebuilt four times in the last 34 years.

Keep at it Seadog you'll get it working again one day

I was wondering that too. I have a Mk1 Bantam that will be going in the not too distant future.
I also know them fairly well so can tell you what to look for.

They were noisy b'stards who would play the same record over and over at 3am, so they deserved all they got
