- This video is the concluding part of my series on repairing my South Bend 13 (113c x 72") lathe. It has been a bit challenging to get to this stage and I've now got a back log of work to get through including prototypes, car and bike stuff, gardening and I've got to by a pair of oven mitts......!
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I've enjoyed making it, if you wish to leave me a comment please feel free in the comments section below.

From the American Frog Handlers Association, we are every happy for you to dedicate your skills in handling frogs in plastic, but as professional handlers we prefer to use burlap instead of plastic. hence your inexperience versus our professionals. Again Thank You from the AFHA in your dedication.🤔
Hello Paul, this was wonderful, since I own a 1942 13" South Bend [8113C model]
all of your care in making this video may help me as I go through my machine.....
very well done, I am now gong back to the beginning of your videos to watch in sequence.....
best wishes from Florida, USA, Paul Brown......
Hi. I haven't finished yet, still got stuff to make for my 13", it's a nice machine to work with but it can always be improved. cheers
@@Thesheddweller Paul, it is amazing the precision work you did making those straight edges.......loving all your videos, Paul in Florida
Paul, You’ve got to be the most graceful gout-ridden drunken ballroom dancer I’ve ever witnessed 👍🤣😂🤣😂🤣👍. Definitely one of the most entertaining machining stories on RUclips - thank you. Merry Christmas. 2023 is going to be awesome.
HI, 2023 certainly is going to be a good one. cheers
Absolutely beautiful Paul 😊😊😊😊
Hi Nell, glad you liked it. I had to loose about 40 hours worth just to get this short video. its gone down alright though. ATB
You kept the best and important bits Paul, they are the ones that count.
Great video pal 😊😊
@@NellsMechanicalManCave Oh..... I didn't keep them. I need the terabytes of disc space for the next video... 👍
absolutely great work! thank you very much for showing it! 👍👍👍
Hi, thank you for watching. cheers
Cracking Refurbishment Paul, enjoyed the watch and commentry, i appreciate the amount of work that was involved to bring this lathe back to life
Many Thanks for the Shout out
regards
Kev
Thanks Kev. You’re very welcome. and yes it is hard work getting these machines back to work on a budget. cheers
The lathe is a thing of great beauty.
Hi, I agree, after all it helped form the modern world. ATB
Hello Paul,
What a smashing job you've made... you must be super happy with the outcome. See you on the next one.
Take care.
Paul,,
Hi Paul… yeah it looks the mutts nuts, but does it bark or bite, thats the question.
I’ll soon find out.
cheers
That was great, enjoy your lathe!
Hi, I intend to. cheers.
A very interesting and enjoyable journey. Thank you for allowing us along for the ride. Here’s to your next project. 👏👏👍😀 Andrew
Cheers, thank you.
Brilliant Paul, top notch restoration and hopefully you'll have many high precision hours worth of fun and frolics. Greetings from Southport.🙂
Hi Kevin. I’ve just got to find out how good the axis line up, then I can start making sparks, but for now it’s softly, softly to find out what makes it tick.
cheers.
Excellent job. I cant wait to see some chips coming off of it.
Hi, I’m on it. Cheers
Would love to see you cut a test bar between centres to see how it does. 👍
You know…. I think I might just do that.. cheers
nicely done, looking forward to see some turning & chips on this lathe .
I too can hardly wait…Cheers
A lovely build you have done. Also that machine looks very good quality. Well done to you.
Regards
Steve.
Thank you, I am hoping that it is as sturdy as it feels. Ill soon find out.
oooo, nice machine
Hi, Thanks.
I have a 13" South Bend of a similar era, single tumbler gear box like yours. Yours looks amazing.You did an excellent job. I think those little folded wires that go into the oil return is more about taking advantage of surface tension to "pull" the returning oil back down into the oil cavity.
Hi. thank you, but its mostly paint and I didn’t even paint it, my wife is to blame for that. Its very likely about them wires, but I only found the front ones when I cleared out the swarf that had piled up on top and in to the oil groove. All The Best.
It is good to see you fully restored and in your workshop. It is also good to see your lathe fully restored. I would not mind if the sped up bits were at normal speed. I like to see detail and information about every aspect of the process, and I study technique. Having said that I am one voice in thousands. I am hoping to achieve a similar level of high quality restoration with my Harrison mill, so thank you sincerely for these masterclasses you produce.
HI, you’re too kind in your comments, I simply bumble between one problem and another. Cheers
@@Thesheddweller You are humble when you say you bumble. I'm learning a great deal from watching your films, so thank you.
Awesome rebuild Paul. Can’t wait to see it make some chips and figure out if your Jb weld trick actually works.
Hi, Likewise.. cheers
Great series. My only criticism is that you should have ended it with a shot of the lathe making chips. Maybe you could do a final video of setting it up and doing a 'Rollie's dad's test bar' and some surface finish demo cuts.......hint hint.
Hi, I’m working on it. I’ll see what I can do. Cheers
Nice little rebuild, you'll get another 50 years out of that machine. Love the colour.
Hi, I do hope so…. not many live to 120+ ☺
You are wicked smaaaat!
Hi, thanks.
I was impressed to see the emergancy stop mounted in a sensible place, rather than the easy one. Nice job. cheers.
Hi, thanks. The Estop will be the last thing I see while running out of the door.
Very interesting, thank you.
Hi, you’re very welcome.
Loved the whole series, thank you. I wish you many hours of enjoyable machining on this machine, your work is amazing. Les
Thank you. glad you enjoyed the series. cheers
I'm not sure about the Grizzly Green but I enjoyed the refurb!
Wakodahatchee Chris
Yeah, it is a bit in your face but it's cheap paint, it's made by 'Hermitite smoothrite' the colour is "garage door green", but it was cheap. cheers
@@Thesheddweller Ha! I was struggling with a way to describe it but "That's it"!
It looks fantastic!! Great job Paul! Can't wait to watch ya use it.
Thats the funny thing about it, I’l probably be to busy on other stuff to use it…… typical. cheers
Nice job.
Hi, thanks.
Welcome back.
Another well done.🎥
Hi, thanks.
Amazing and congratulations. It appears that your key challenge in re-assembling this lovely machine was the force of gravity. Clearly something to be addressed in your next rebuild. May you go from strength to strength.
Hi, I have more than enough trouble fighting gravity, I try my best to keep away from it,… but it always finds me. cheers.
I have to say that the "Rustinox-style oilers" are very effective and easy to make for no cost at all. So, go for it!
That was a very nice recap-video, Paul. I really enjoyed it.
Cheers Pal.
Nice one Paul, there are few that would have tackled all of the challenges that you faced with this restoration. Looking forward to seeing her in action.
Hi Tony. So am I. cheers
The Taylor Conical Chuck.... Only seen two in the wild, and I have one of them that came with an Atlas 618
Cheers
Hi, until now I had never seen one, but I understand they’re supposed to be the bees knees. ATB
@@Thesheddweller I'm sure you have read the same literature as I from lathes UK.
I got lucky as it came with the second set of jaws.
@@rickpalechuk4411 oh... I’ve got the inverted jaws as well, they’re very well made. but I haven’t read Lathe UK literature.
Happy Christmas :-)
Hi, thank you, seasons greeting to you and your family, cheers
Nice to see it all back together now, good job. You'll have to let us know how the JB weld repairs hold up over time and usage. Cheers
Hi, Believe me I can't wait to find out myself. Cheers
really liked this series!
looking good mr hopewell !
Now I'm very curious about how accurate the lathe has become?
time for some chips and measuring!
quite right too. I’ll give it a go soon, meanwhile I’ve got a couple of things to do… cheers
That was a brilliant series, I have found your channel through a recomendation by Rustinox, I have a Boxford lathe and is more or less a copy of the South Bend lathes
How are the vee ways holding up after the resin application? that looked like a great fix. Being a retired machine tool fitter, I can see how much work and skill you put into this restoration. love your humour, and have subscribed, take care, Dave
Hi, the vee ways are doing Ok, I have had one issue with fine swarf scratching the resin but that’ll be something thats going to happen anyway if I dont wipe muck off. Cheers
@@Thesheddweller That's good, we used to fit Turcite, but that would require re-machining, regarding swarf, I've just made and fitted some small roller blinds to the ways, seems ok so far, I just used some leatherette, 12mm copper tube and internal springs, fiddly getting tension right but works ok, cheers, Dave incidentally, I make parts for old motorbikes too!
@@daveharriman2756 I also started to use a roller blind swarf control system of keeping the swarf off the slides but, I have a lot of people screaming for stuff to be done, meaning that I don’t get much time to get my stuff done, and of course I have to keep the wife in check at the same time.🤣
@@Thesheddweller know the feeling lol
I wish mine would be finished, but its to cold and no time for the restoration haha.
My biggest Issue is, that my headstock has no adjustment screws, so it cuts a taper.
Is it possible that a headstock can be adjusted even if one side sits on a v-way?
My old lathe had a flat bed and a adjustment screws on the back of the headstock, but i don't know how solve this issue on the "new" lathe
Hi, i believe its possible. Its amazing what you can do with a bit of shim in just the right place, even on a headstock. regards
@@Thesheddweller thank you for the tip, i think i will try the shim method
