Great video. You took months I am working on my Clausing 5913 rebuild for the 3rd year now. Getting close maybe finished by end of summer. Thanks for bringing us along.
Ui there, I was very impressed with the finish you got using rattle cans, i myself would have used my air spray gun as iam fully set up for medium sized jobs, an I'd have purchased a 2/5 ltr can of paint so paint in reserve for touch ups. I have an old three step pulley 1918 Colchester master 6" x 36" metal lathe originally used in an industrial workshop driven from over head shafting , so I saved it from going to the scrap man, had to fabricate a 50x50mm x5mm angle frame 100mm up of the floor bolted to the legs to hold the motor, then a lay shaft out the back to another 3 step pulley then directly above two fixed rollers and one to tension a drive belt i made to drive the chuck. It has power feed for facing and chuck to tail stock , I designed and fabricated a mount to hold a bench grinder that has a slow wheel at the back of the machine mainly for sharpening chisels moved the 8"wheel to the front and I use it for regrinding the cutting cylinders on mowers, finish is a very high standard as the wheel only turns at 150 rpm
When I worked at P&WA in the late 1970s there were many machines with navy tags. They had been loaned to the company to build aircraft engines during the war.
Moin, I have also this type of lathe at my Home. IT was unboxed at the year 1953. It didnt got any overhauling. It hasnt Work alot. IT Looks like to from a liberty ship. BR Klaus
Restored 7 vintage lathes and 3 mills I stay away from war and school lathes because of the abuse they go through,, can actually get better finish with old bushing lathes then with the next timken bearings stage, but Logan and Sheldon use double ball bearing and that's the ones too have,, and flame hardened ways if possible,,

Looks good man.. I Completely rebuilt my heavy 10 also down to every last nut bolt gear you name it.. took me two years to finish it

Awesome job, looks mighty fine! I'm currently restoring a 14.5"
Nice, those are pretty rare from what I have read.
It looks so inviting when finished. Good job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome job on the lathe
One tip use the motor lift to take off the constant belt pressure when not in use. Nice job good luck with her.
Nice job.
Thanks for the narration. Will have to chase down the episodes...
Any time!
Moin,
I have also this type of lathe at my Home.
IT was unboxed at the year 1953.
It didnt got any overhauling.
It hasnt Work alot. IT Looks like to from a liberty ship.

BEAUTIFUL
A small point but I never feel safe having controls where I have to reach over the chuck / workpiece
like the more modern design a lot better... but, good job on these valuable beauties...
painted handles great idea
Very knowledge for your reference
You done an awesome job on the restoration. I have question can parts still be purchased for the lathe
You might try orange and beige color scheme on future projects. By beige I mean a light tan color.
Problem is oils and cleaners are conductive and can short out the plates in motor,

...very nice...needs a threading dial...
Nice color scheme haha.
Think I would have used a light grey paint rather than that deep sea blue. Otherwise not bad.
I debated it but I wanted to pay homage to its navy history during WWII
Did I miss something?? Did you ever turn it on so we can hear it?
I did not hear anything about scraping the ways. Old machines can be extremely worn near the chuck.
