It gives me hope to see younger people who actually know practical aspects of life. You seem very resourceful and eager to learn. You're a good rolemodel to this society.
Thank you for the kind words! I love to learn as many new skills and absorb as much information as possible. I’m very excited to share this journey!
Hi ! A very practical device in every workshop. Good buy. Good luck !
Looks like a beautiful/good condition Colchester. Congratulations with it 😊👍
Good Show Sophie! Excellent piece of equipment necessary for all shops!
Very good Sophie
Video update did not disappoint! Thank you Sophie. So excited for you and the adventures to ensue in the workshop with this new piece of kit! I firmly believe when we take on challenges like working on vehicles out of passion, it can only enrichen our character. My commendation to you for expanding your skills. ☺
A little story if you'll have it; your videos and channel were a core inspiration for me to start on my current, and most in-depth project to date. The restoration of a 1990 Isuzu Trooper. I have imported a 4JB1 (2.8 TD 4cyl) with a 5 speed trans. which I am refurbishing and later installing into this frame-off restoration. My grandfather had a Trooper he bought brand new in 1991. It was a core piece in my childhood memories when we would go camping in the Rocky mountains as a family. My grandfather is soon to be 92 years old now, and my plan is to restore this '90 to his '91's likeness. So to then take him camping for as long as we still can. Returning the favor of good memories spent together in the mountains.
So, thank you Sophie.😊
Exactly the Lathe I want Sophie, I have a old student Mark 1 but its about had its day 👍
Well done Sophie, excellent choice of machine.
Best wishes, Dean.
nice to see the colchester triumph 2000 sophie. i spent 10 years on one of them back in the 80,s. get an ainjest screw cutting attachment and a taper turning attachment on it and there wont be alot you cant make. good luck with it, im sure it will do you well.
Congrats. Look forward to see your machining adventures.
Use it to expand your adventures, build reliability.
That was a good find Sophie 👍
Wow, what a find a great addition to your workshop. The skies the limit!
Sunday. Coffee at my side…
Enjoying the video update.
Thanks for allowing us to join you on this adventure. It may not seem like much to you, but it’s a nice / appreciated mental break - plus, I’ve never been on that side of the pond, and what better way to get a glimpse of the land than with some tool, vehicle adventures. Thank you!
All the best with the new tool!
Good video. I do not use lathes but the Colchester brand appears to have an excellent reputation. Road trips to collect good kit are always worthwhile, although usually tiring. Much easier when you fly one way and drive back😊! Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
Well done Sophie great video keep up the good work Loved it ❤👍🏻
Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching ❤️
Great to see you Sophie and look forward to seeing more of the lathe.
Thank you for watching, plenty more to come!☺️
Hi 👋🏻 Sophie 😊 Long time no see but we’ll worth the wait for this exciting video 😍 Take care until the next time 🕰️ xx
Hello! Thank you for watching and the kind words ❤️
AMAZING LADY, wish I had a lathe, but then I would have to learn how to use it, but that would be fun.
Wow, what an addition to your workshop, I am so jealous. Nice to see a Colchester lifted correctly for once 😊
Cool lathe a great addition for the workshop 🙂
glad to see your back Sophie 😊👍 they are something i look forward to after a long day at work , you put a smile on mi face 😊, always very interesting , looking forward to the next instalment
What a trip, well done, Sophie. Greetings from the Netherlands 👋🏻😀
Nice looking lathe, Sophie !! Looks like a great mid range machine. Glad it hadn't been sitting outside. I just retired after working many years as a machinist and metal fabricator. If you can someday, a vertical mill would really come in handy for what you do. Please stay safe and God bless you and yours. Eddy
Thank you for the video Sophie. Seeing a Colchester lathe brought back memories of my time as an engineering apprentice during the 1960s! I spent many hours using a Clochester 'Student' - I see that they still make a model under that name but its much modernised! About 20 years ago I had the opportunity to purchase a 1960s Harrison L5A lathe; fortunately I still had a lot of things like micrometers, callipers etc from my days on the shop floor. One thing that I had to get to run the machine was a phase converter since the motor is three phase and I only have a normal domestic connection. Best of luck with all your engiineering endeavours - there's nothing like using good tools and machines and making things! Best wishes.
This has to be a sign Sophie.... Both on the way down and back, You showed just one road sign The A 41for Solihull.. That is exactly where I was born...... Very near to the Rover Factory as was..... Spooky or what... And now (I don`t know exactly where you live, but I know your accent) we live just a few miles apart...... And with me needing help with my P 38...... It was Meant to be..... lol..... Well maybe....... Your workshop is coming on well.... Better than working in your downstairs Toilet!!! Take care and keep up the Great work.... :-)) xxx ps: over the last 40 years I have collected a Snap-on toolbox full of tools..... I would Love for it to go to a Nice person that will get a lot of use out of them. I bought the Box brand new in Canada in 1985 and I hate to part with it, but Ill health means I need the money..... If you are interested just let me know... :-))
When I buy my first lathe, I was surpriced of how useful it was in my hobby. Concratulations Sophie!
Nice machine!
Well done! Really looking forward to more videos on this project.
Magnificent job
Awesome buy 👌🏻
Congratulations on your new lathe! If you haven’t already, make sure you get safety training. Lathes are one of the most useful machines in a machine shop and they can also be the most deadly. You definitely need to make sure you have your hair held down with something that will not come loose. We had a student who was killed while using the lathe in the Yale school machine shop here in Connecticut.
This is going to be great! Have a look at CEE and their work. He does amazing work on the lathe.
Great stuff Sophie. You are a marvel. The work you've done on your vehicles means I am very much looking forward to seeing how you will refurb and use this lathe. I can tell you will be good just by how you are talking about it. There are a few of us in the UK now with machining channels, myself imcluded. Any questions just ask. Doubleboost (John Mills) has an excellent archive of useful films. That Colchester is absolutely superb. I hope it came with lots of accessories. Best wishes to you. You are really something.
It's shiny it excites
Hi Sophie, nice lathe! enjoy it!
Brilliant, good to see someone down to earth, doing some pretty amazing stuff, love this channel, keep.on doing what you do
Another video of interesting things,I’m envious now.Look forward to seeing some jobs being taken care of with your new addition to your shop 🙂
Great video, very good lathes them. Only bit of advice, get some overalls that fit, the baggy ones you wear are lethal near a lathe, a split second from pulling your arm into it.
Thank you for watching and for the advice! Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of overalls that are not baggy and my hair is always kept out of the way - I completely understand how dangerous they can be if not used with caution ☺️
Great purchase. Exactly what you needed.
Having a catch up on your videos young lady. I have to say, I am a tad jealous you have a lathe. Trying to find a good one at good money without having to travel is nigh on impossible. Well done you!
I just came from checking out an old machine shop full of old equipment for sale coincidentally.
Great stuff. Bring on the next video. Excellent choice of lathe.
Excellent purchase Sophie, that will be a brilliant addition to the workshop, what next i wonder!? Been a few years since i last used one😅.
When you said lathe I didn't realise you meant such a beast. Can't wait to see what you turn out.
You are so awesome Sophie
You’re too kind, thank you!
Hi Sophie just to emphasise safety keep that nice long hair well out of the way of the rotating chuck!! Saw a few experienced machinists (mostly blokes with long hair we are talking 1970s here) scalped by leaning over machines. You cant be to careful! On a lighter note well done and keep the vids coming.
Bra jobbat!
Nice lathe 👍.
I only have a small Emco lathe , but it's amazing the jobs that need done on it.
I could do with a slightly bigger one.
these are fantastic lathes, i ran a mascot 1600 and master 1400 for years
Very nice! This lathe has served me very well so far, I’m excited and cannot to share more of the journey
Hope all goes well Sophie
огооо ,так часто серии ,неожидано ,приятно .привет София
Hello and thank you for watching!
❤ you are great 😊
Engaging update lass.
Keep at it.🙂👍
I would have suggested using a tarp
Thats pretty sweet!!!
congratulations... greetings from germany
Love Sophy, keep up the good work 🙂
Thank you!☺️
👍🤩👍
That's a serious lump of equipment: nothing seems to faze you. Best wishes.
Haha yes it’s a great machine that’s for sure! I can’t wait to share the next stages ☺️
That is a great lathe. Have you had a chance to get a bit of time on it?
Did you get. The land rover discovery 2. Restored ? Love from Ireland ☘️
гарна дівчина
With all the sheet metal work you have been doing on the Landys , do you have a metal shear and a brake?
Hi Soph, we need an update.
Bet that cost a bit in diesel alone! How many times did you need to fill the tank?
As if you didn't already have enough things to fix up... 🤣 congrats seriously jealous!
nice lathe should last you a lifetime and do a good job
Yes that’s the plan for sure! ☺️
👍👊
