The full restoration of a very rusted British Wizard micro lathe from the 1940's. This mini lathe was made around 1946 by C Lane and son at their workshop in Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, England. This is an early model of their's as the name Wizard was taken off shortly after the lathes were manufactured due to copyright infringement regarding the name "Wizard" and were re-badged as the "Lane lathe".
The lathe came to me via Ben at the Tool Addict channel, please check him out, he has a mass of interesting and very rare tools. / @tooladdict7463

Amazing and outstanding your videos just get better every time fantastic just fantastic thanks for sharing your time and skill and remember stay safe and make more fantastic videos 🍺🍺👍👍😷🇬🇧
Hi Brian, thank you so much for your kind comments, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊
i know im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Trent Roger Instablaster =)
@Aden Dominic i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Aden Dominic It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
I respect the way you left the minor defects in the castings and didn't need to shine everything to a mirror polish Like some channels do. Thank You
Hi Mike, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video😊👍you're right, this item looks so much better cleaned up but with the age related marks left in place😊👍
Am glad you did not whip out the body filler and take the character out of it. Don't understand why people remove the casting flaws and make it look so lifeless. Its charm is matched by its simplicity. A beautiful piece of machinery either sitting on a bookshelf or with a little tweaking, able to hold its own as a small precision tool. Thanks for sharing it with us. Awesome restoration!
Beautifully done. I especially liked the fact that you didn't spend hours with filler and files to get rid of small casting imperfections. In my opinion these little flaws simply add to the character of the tool in question. Great work! As a retired master machinist I enjoy watching these videos of yours.
Great job bringing this adorable little lathe back to life! I really have to appreciate the aesthetics put into the design, these days a small lathe like this would be built on a modular frame.
Уважаемый Автор-Мастер, так вижу, по факту, что допущенная ошибка при сборке была Вами потом исправлена и шайбы под маховичок ходового винта и маховичок поперечной подачи были всё же поставлены в окончательном варианте сборки?!)))
Отличное видео и превосходная кропотливая работа!
Похвальный перфекционизм и прелестный мини-токарный станочек, к которому, благодаря Вам, вернулась вторая жизнь!
Браво!
I am using many old hand tools and each time I am thinking about the destiny and life of the people who use them before me and the great things they built or repaired. I love old tools and I feel very happy every time an old tool is restored and not discarded. I really love your work!
Hi Blue Line, thank you ever so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, there are plenty more in the pipeline👍😊
@@restoreandmake I will keep watching....:)
Excellent careful restoration. Video skills showed everything very well. Tool Addict is a great guy. He answers all the comments. He put this beautiful lathe in good hands. 75 years old and very useful once again. Thanks and regards from USA.
Hi Pat, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video😊👍Tool Addict Ben really is a star and this channel wouldn't be half as good without his input, supplying such a wonderful array of rare tools😊👍
I am restoring a vintage (1938) south bend 9. So much of the refit to the Wizard is of large benefit by example to best restore as method. South bend has a serial number page, of which the near serial number as record to my unit.(Washington State, US) was as registered UK. Thus, a happy owner across the EU-N. America divide. And where I hope, my particular end use of a lathe might match the craftsmanship shown to the wizard. Well found in original as a tool offered, and absolutely interesting and useful as shown to the restored machine. Thank you for the
view to the process. My personal regards, M.
Excellent! As with so many of the objects you restore, I find myself wishing those objects were still in production. This lathe would be a welcome addition to any shop.
Hi Billy, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊
Wow excellent work.. this came up at 5:00 am, and once I started watching it I couldn't tear myself away.. Excellent job...
Hi Gary, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you found the video engrossing, even at the expense of your sleep. You've got about two weeks to get some rest in before the next one😂😊👍
@@restoreandmake Apparently I had watched one of your videos before and had already subscribed.. I can't imagine how long it took to restore the lathe, and record, and edit it.. But it was great.. fantastic camera angles.. Keep up the great work and I'll try to get some sleep 💤 in preparation for your next video... lol.. God Bless and take care...
Most systematically done restoration,one of the best video.
Hi Jugdiep, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊
This clip was great. Thank you for your efforts and for the time you spent.❤
Dave, outstanding my friend! Wow, can’t wait to see it hooked up to motor and used!
Hi Tom, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really looking forward to making the video of it in use, there's a couple of projects in the pipeline then I'll be right on it👍😊keep up the brilliant work on your channel, the boy scout hatchet turned out beautifully👍😊
Absolutely amazing probably the best video I’ve ever gone this video deserves 1 million Fuse absolutely outstanding job Dave
Totally agree Ben 👍👍👩🔧
Hi Ben, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video and, as usual, it couldn't have happened without you😊👍
Dave I never comment on your videos, but I feel compelled to on this one, not only did I watch it all the way thru, I went back and rewatched it, absolutely top notch,
Hi Jim, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, it means a lot to know you enjoyed it😊👍

#littlerestorers
Hi Little Restorers, thank you everso for your kind comment👍😊it really was a major epic to film and restore but I'm very happy with the outcome👍😊
The Colour ? Z PLUS !
I've seen a lot of people use evapo-rust and I am thoroughly impressed.
BUT NOT ! THE ! PRICE ! TAG !! THOUGH !
Absolutely fantastic machine and restoration. Thanks.
Hi theskyehiker, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊we will be bringing out a video of it in use in the near future👍😊
Another work of art. Like others have said, it needs to be hooked up to a drive and tested, but it looks good as an exhibition piece.
Hi Madame-Legurts, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, I have every intention of making a follow up video of the lathe being driven, in a very special way😊👍
It almost physically hurt when he sandblasted the tracks, etc.. 😥
No worries as he dressed the tracks afterwards. In fact it is sometimes better, because you can avoid polishing rust particles deeper into the surface.
What do you mean by that?
Outstanding work. YT just recommended this video to me, and after watching it, and browsing your back catalog, I have found a new channel to sink into. Can't wait to catch up to your new stuff, but for now, I have 29 more of your uploads to watch. Glad to be aboard.
Hi Robby, thank you for your kind comment, I'm so glad you liked the video and I really hope you like the rest of the back catalogue, there are plenty more restorations in the pipeline. Great to have you on board👍😊
@@restoreandmake You're welcome, and thanks for the reply. Can't wait for the next one.
I stumbled onto your channel, watched this video, and subscribed. Heat+dam+pentrating fluid=genius.

Well done Dave. Your skills at restoration are impressive. Your video production skills ain’t too shabby either. Outstanding! 😃👌🏼
Hi David, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, there are plenty more in the pipeline👍😊
STILL ! THE SAME ! PILE ! OF ! JUNK ! AS ! BEFORE !!
I am a huge fan of evapo-rust myself. Great stuff
Fantastic Job as always Dave!!!!!!
Hi John, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, I'm very lucky that Ben never fails to come up with the most interesting items😊👍
Nicely done. I love your attention to detail. Would love to see it in action. Love your videos.
Hi Robert, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊I'm planning a follow up video of the lathe working, in quite a special way, so watch this space👍😊
Very nice. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Steven, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, there are plenty more in the pipeline😊👍

Congratulations for the excellent work friend 👍 🤝 👍
Espectacular y precioso. Las máquinas antiguas, ya son una obra de arte por los medios en que se construían, su restauración es una protección de su patrimonio. UN TRABAJO EXCELENTE.
Everything was done not only neatly, but also with love.
Only there they still ask for a three-jaw chuck and oil cans.
Привет Valery, большое спасибо за ваш добрый комментарий, я очень рад, что вам понравилось видео😊👍
Stunning

Hi Derek, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video. You're right, the Hammerite paint really does make these vintage tools look new again😊👍
This is very well done!

Krásná práce,gratuluji!!!
Ahoj Svatopluk Havryš, děkuji moc za milý komentář, jsem opravdu rád, že se ti video líbilo😊👍
Beautiful restoration and a beautiful example of craftsmanship in manufacturing. Pity that most of the finely crafted pieces currently made are priced out of the reach of the mere mortals.
Hi Fred, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for your kind words👍😊
Just found your channel and subscribed. Nice work.
Excellent job
Hi dixonqwerty, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video 😊👍
Interesting little lathe, I recently restored a 1916 Drummond B.
Hi Martin, thank you for your great comment, it would be super if you could film your restoration and put it up on your channel😊👍
That's one of the cutest things I've ever seen!

Привет Сергей Василич, спасибо за отличный комментарий, это действительно редкий маленький токарный станок, в мире должно быть всего несколько штук, так как они были сделаны только в течение короткого периода времени👍😊
Fantastic job

I like how you wrote "Hi Ben"...almost felt like you said it TO me...hahahaha!
Hi Ben, thank you for your great comment, I think you might find that if Ben from the great Tool Addict channel keeps suppling these wonderful vintage tools for me to restore you may find you name written on the bottom of quite a few more projects😊👍

Great restoration friend, have a nice day Stay Safe !!!.
Hi Brian, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊
I have got the same, from UK seller, my first lathe ;-) Very nice video. Thanks.
Awesome
Hi William, thank you for your kind comment, I'm so glad you liked the video👍😊
Very interesting video. I own a couple of these models (including the example on the maker's baseplate shown on lathes.co.uk) and have a few videos on my channel. They are great little machines, but so small as to be frustrating just how long it takes to make anything! 🤔😉. It was very interesting seeing your example come to pieces. I would say that it was in very original condition, except the tool post lever which looks like a later addition. Originally it would have been just an ordinary nut. Its also worth knowing that the pointed centre will come out of the tailstock, though you will probably have to poke it out through the hole in the handle. Looking forward to seeing it working. Thanks 😀 👍
Hi mrrgstuff, thank you ever so much for taking the time to reach out and comment, it was great to hear that the tail stock centre comes out, it looked like a solid machined piece. It's also great to find out you're the owner of the lathe in the picture on the website, I think Ben, Tool Addict, and I are very jealous of the cast base you have and we're on the lookout for one for the follow up video when we get the lathe running😊👍thanks again and keep up the great work on your channel😊👍
@@restoreandmake Thanks 😃👍. Be interesting to see if another cast iron base shows up. Its hard to believe they would have only made one, but I suppose if they didn't sell, any left over from the batch would have been just melted down for scrap. I bought both Wizards in quick succession and the other one is heavily modified, but did come with a lot of accessories which is why I snapped it up at the time. I must really put one or both of them back into working use and should really do some more videos on them. I haven't done it yet, but I always thought the most useful accessory to make would be a spindle thread adapter as its impossible to get accessories which fit the thread thats there (it is a standard BSR thread IIRC). The tapers at both ends are short Morse 0 fitting I think, and I do have a tailstock drill chuck, but I don't think mine was an original accessory. I think it would have come with a pair of centres for between centres turning, and used like this you can take much deeper cuts. Looking forward to seeing more of your one. Thanks again 😀 👍
I love that screwdriver/scraper
Hi Juan, thank you for your great comment, the "turnscrew" is a really lovely little tool and is probably over a 100 years old which makes it really special to use in my restorations😊👍
Bela restauração parabéns
Oi Carlos, muito obrigado pelo seu comentário gentil, estou muito feliz que você tenha gostado do vídeo👍😊
Nice idea to paint side prisms for main "Support"
If this lathe is anything like mine, the pointed tailstock centre is on a small morse taper and can be removed. A bit fiddly but I managed it with mine. To make it easier to remove in the future I drilled right the way through the threaded part so that I can insert a very small bore rod in from the end so that it can be tapped out.
Hi Andrew, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video😊👍
Man that is some kinda cool!
Hi Deepblu dude, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, keep up the great work on your channel, it'd be great to see more of your motor restorations👍😊

Bună Ioan , vă mulțumesc foarte mult pentru comentariul dvs. amabil, mă bucur foarte mult că ați apreciat videoclipul👍😊
Muy bonito. Buen trabajo
I don't see this little lathe being anything but a child's toy from the nineteen thirties but it is still cool.
Hi Larry, thank you so much for your comment, it really is a lovely looking little tool, I expect mini lathes like this are reasonably tricky to use and not overly practical but we're going to find out fairly soon in a follow up video of it working😊👍
It is a clock makers lathe accurate ad hell

Great!
Hi RUSTY SCRAP RESTORATION, thanks for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, keep up the great work on your channel👍😊
Bridgeport paints there equipment with 2 coats of color paint and 3 coats of clear coat shellac. Great video. Outstanding project of a very small lathe. Clock maker? Needs to make a screw or something.
Hi Loyd, thank you so much for your kind comments👍😊
Made when Britain had a manufacturing industry and was classed as the workshop of the world .
Hi Bruce, thank you for your great comment, how true you are, Britain was responsible for making some truly world class bits of kit, many of which have stood the test of time😊👍
at 21:51 i thought there was supposed to be a washer? i swear there was one at 0:53 :P
That aside, lovely restoration.
I like it better in Silver/Blue rather than what appeared to be "black/racing green".
Now, i take it that it wasn't a jewelers lathe, so what sort of companies would have such petite lathes?
i can imagine toymakers, but beyond that, i'm not entirely certain.
I'm quite surprised, how well it survived in a first place.
Ahoj TrinomCZ, moc děkuji za tvůj skvělý komentář, opravdu mě překvapilo, jak dobrý byl stav soustruhu vzhledem k jeho věku, pokračuj ve skvělé práci na svém kanálu😊👍
What a smart little machine, I have long toyed with getting a micro lathe like this or a fuller bed like a Drummond but sadly prices have remained high no doubt with people staying at home and pursuing hobbies...
Hi Ian, thanks for your great comment, it really is a lovely bit of kit, I'm really looking forward to making a video of it in use👍😊keep up the great work on your channel👍😊
I wanna see it cutting metal!
No seriously, nice job.
Hi TheEvertw, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊I'm hoping to make a video of it working in the near future😊watch this space👍👍

this is amazing video i love it
Excelente
Hola Victor, muchas gracias por tu amable comentario, me alegro mucho que te haya gustado el video😊👍
I liked your big pencil and the clamp technique using it, lol. I'm restoring some old Craftsman tools from the 40's - a lathe, jointer and jig saw. What were you putting those heated bolts into? Is that oil? I haven't seen that before. You might want to try those silicone plugs for blocking screw holes for painting - they work great. Love that lathe - it's really sweet! Thanks for your time and work on the video!
Great restoration, but you didn't re fit the nuts on the gib adjustment grub screws on the cross slide and top slides, they are needed to lock the screws in position after the free play has been eliminated.
Hi Peter, thank you for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video. Thank you for the great advice, I'm new to lathes and as it didn't come with the lock nuts I was oblivious to the fact they should have been there, I'll try and rectify that😊👍
