Excellent! Outstanding! Great Job. I have a SB9 Model A from 1937 an restored it to, I know how much work you invested here. A great machine and a peace of history. Thanks for documenting your work in this video!
Hey Mr. Basement Shop Guy and all. I love your videos. They remind me of not just the machinery but a time in this country when everything seemed pure and straight forward. When people were proud of their country, and there was something to be proud of.
Absolutely gorgeous. I recently purchased a 1943 9A with the War Department tag still on it. Your video will be my inspiration to give the old girl a new lease on life.
I have a war vet 9A too from 1942. It needs restoration, but I keep using it for 'just one more project'. I do need to do it right and pass my beauty on to the next generation in good repair.
I have a Hurcus 9" AR lathe, (its a renamed SouthBend lathe) built in South Australia so identical to yours but with bearings in the head stock. this was quite mesmerizing to watch. top job old son, well done.
I restored a 1959 Streamline Travel Trailer...it took 5 years. I can only imagine all the hours, research and elbow grease to finish this master job. I bet it's hard to cut your first chip !!!! Have you used it yet...? I'm sure I speak from the rest of us ...glad you are as talented as you are.
Absolutely gorgeous. I just picked up a model B benchtop lathe. Same condition (without the paint job) as yours. I'm now convinced that I will be taking mine apart to do the same. Great Job!!
Very nice resto, these machine built America and deserve to have a resto like this. Unfortunately it takes so much work to do a resto as nice you did on this machine... I bet the new owner is proud to have that machine, I would be !!
What a great job! I was wonderful to see a classic machine come back to life and look like it did the day it rolled out the door in South Bend! Thank you for sharing!
It turned out gorgeous. I wish you did a video series showing how, particularly how you get the steel so clean and bright, and how you did the gear chart and various tags.
Wow what a sad thing to do to a lovely vintage lathe. Some people have no idea. but you done a great job restoring her. She looks gorgeous. Fantastic job. Hope she gives you yrs of service. I'm in the process of restoring a 1939 Colchester master 6inch. Only downside is the rpm
WOW!!!! Brad you have done a superb job!!! Detail is amazing. I have been trying to find a decent Heavy 10 or 13 with no luck. Seeing this video makes me want one more.
Hey, basementshopguy ! Yhe little Southbend 9" Lathe, that's a Sweet Job ! you did on the restoration of thr lathe. Wow ! Love the new Speed & feed charts you replaced ! I'm starting a Clausing 1964 restoration, can you or someone else PLEASE give me a lead on where to get those beautiful speed & feed replacement charts ! Those really made the project POP ! Thanks, Mark Ohio
Hi, I can't get enough of watching the South Bend 9 A lathe video. Congratulations What is the color formula for me to restore my model A here in Brazil. thanks!
omg what a beauty! Well done!!!! I too have a 1955 9" model A I'm just now checking into what its going to take to restore it. I'd like to know more like paint type, rust remover etc etc. I'll follow the link you provided in the description. Awesome job!
Thank you sir .This is most excellent. Great music,great pics. When I restore my 9a I hope it looks this good. Love the green in gray idea for the color.
What a great project! Thanks for sharing this, I very much enjoyed watching your well made slideshow, the pace was perfect, and the music elegantly set the mood. You can see the love of fine detail in your work. Thank you for making this. Best regards SSG Frank Novak
sgttacklebury This one was my personal favorite Frank. Just something about how she came out, the time period, etc.. Thanks so much for watching and commenting ;)
I am a gun guy(instructor) and shooter for more than 47 years, and as such I have a love of machined complex metal shapes carefully crafted to do a useful purpose. There is a real art to these machines, people who made them put in more than function. Please keep doing what you do, someday I might try this myself. Best regards, and Merry Christmas. F.Novak
Awesome!!! I just sold my South Bend 13" (but kept the taper attachment) to get a 16" with riser blocks. Currently tearing it down also. I thought the taper would be compatible with the 16 but, it's not. Either way good luck on the new restore. It's definitely not an easy task, a lot of elbow grease is involved.
Incredible job. Your cleaning buffing and polishing make all the difference - have you made videos on your technique? What do you do about dings gouges and scratches? Thanks again great to watch.
I have owned a Southbend for years. I need to rework the gearbox, but don't know if I can find Holy music to accompany such a task. Great video my friend!
Great job! I wonder what the run out is 1' from the chuck? What software did you use for the wonderful slide presentation?Thanks for sharing and keep up the fine work.
SB 9 was my 1st lathe. I bought a model C and have been converting it to an A, but I can't find what gears to use to make the gearbox ratio correct for the thread pitches. Was hoping to see the tooth counts on yours, but I might as well ask if you can tell me...great video. I had to clean and paint mine too, but now it looks and works like new!
Very educational slideshow/video, as I recently bought a 1947 SB9A. I'm not planning a museum-perfect restore, but I do plan to get it up and running and ready learn on (its my first lathe) and to do some work. Mechanically it appears to be pretty decent, just needs a good once over and lube job it appears. Any pointers on what to look for would be appreciated.
I'm heading out this morning to pick up a 1941 version 9A in similar condition. Your video is a true inspiration. Revealing the beauty, history and talent under those layers pays the utmost respect and resurrection to those that built the modern world we live in today. You've set the bar pretty high. I'll try my best. Much thanks.
Stunning job. Clearly you are a top notch craftsman with a bit of artiste thrown in. 9 years ago you mentioned it's gone. Was that in regard to this machine or do you still use it?
Sorry for the loss of music. It returns around the 18-minute mark. The stupid copyright block. Other people use published music, I just don't get it...
nice job I,m getting ready to do my 9" hope it turns out that nice. I was told not to pant the back side of the apron because the flaking will cause problems in the future, could take 10-15yrs but it will happen no matter how good your pant is
Olá, boa noite! preciso de informações em relação a tinta usada, a fórmula para montar a cor desse torno e qual é o produto para tirar a ferrugem das peças? Existe um kit para a montagem das engrenagens? Qual feltro usar nos dosadores de óleo? obrigado!
Hello goodnight! Should the products be assembled against these products and the formula made to assemble these products? How did you treat the rust? Is there any kit to live like? The South Bend lathe was very beautiful. Congratulations I have one of the same model.

Good looking machine. I look forward to the rest of the series. Just finished watching you're new lathe from PM - good job. What paint did you go with on this project? I been going back and forth on what to use on a Bridgeport milling restoration I am working. (sorry I did not search all these comments as you probably been ask this before. Music makes feel like I am watching the Band of Brothers.
What do you do to make the pieces so clean and shiny? Make a video showing your technique, because I bought a lathe of this one and would like to reform it. I'll wait for the video, okay?
PART 1 "Aside from learning the theory and practice, there is a third factor necessary to becoming a master in any art-the mastery of the art must be a matter of ultimate concern; there must be nothing else in the world more important than the art. This holds true for music, for medicine, for carpentry, (machining)-and for love. And, maybe, here lies the answer to the question of why people in our culture try so rarely to learn this art, in spite of their obvious failures:
Thanks! The paint code is Sherwin Williams and details can be found (on page 4 of the build diary) - the link is found in the description of the video.
Fantastic job brad, in order to achieve the finish that you did, how many coats of paint were applied, how long did you wait between each coat, thanks for your time
I've seen you cleaning up some of the shafts and holes as well. How do you fill in the gaps between them? The main bed as well should should be rectified and in some points material needs to be added. I have a lathe restauration project of my own and I could use the addvice.
Also wondering whats your process of making all the parts that are unpainted all shiny. Are you using diffrent grades of wet and dry paper such as the handles and knobs. Only that's what I'm having to do by starting with 80 grit all the way up to 2500 grit. But man it's taking many hours ( like for one handle it's taking me 6 hours ) To get a very high shine. It's turned out great but would love to know if there's a simpler method. Your attention & dedication to detail is amazing I can only hope I can get the same.
WoW that baby turned out awesome. I'm looking at purchasing one. It says "precision" on the tag. How tight and precise are these little SB's? Are they good machines?
Beautiful as the day she left the factory. What kinds of solvents did you find were effective and what kind of paint did you use? I'm about to embark on the same project. -Dave W from Philly
wow this is some amazing restoration work I've jist picked up a 1939 lathe and really want to restore her beautifully. can I ask how you managed to get all the rusty metal parts looking all shiney. As I really want to do the same appriciciate your advice great work and enjoyed every moment of it 👌👌👌👌
A proper job there. Not just a strip and paint. How common are the taper attachments in the US? I think both your machines had them on? I've only seen one come up for sale on fleabay in the last year in the UK, and that was with a lathe. I'm guessing that if a draw bar and collets regularly fetch $225, then a taper attachment is going to be $450-500 in the UK. How would that compare with US prices? Anyway excellent job, and thanks for posting.
Ok, just been on Boxford spares website. To make a taper attachment from spare parts would cost an equivalent of $920! Methinks i'll be making one from precision linear bearings and titanium shaft and still save hundreds. lol.
mark rainford Not sure - tapers can be tricky. Some feel that they're a waste and (never) get used, others love em' and wouldn't have a machine without them. I've never had a "need" for mine, but that doesn't mean I won't. I'm looking for some projects to make, that uses the taper. I'll be shooting a video on that in the coming weeks. Thanks for watching!
Love your work, where did you get the greenish tinted Southbend color and can you tell me what was the buffing material used on your shafts and delicate parts like the dials
Hello. I hope you can help me. I have a SB 9" model A. But i don't have the " Inverted lathe glass". Do you know the sizes of all this parts?, sorry but I can't find this information. Thank you Greetings
I finally have mine torn down to begin the cleaning/stripping process (what's left of the paint). Would you happen to have the paint code for the color you used?
Again a beauty!!Like the others..just AMAZING! How long did you need to compleet i?.Its hard to tell in the clip.But I can only imagine how much it was,as you dont miss even the smalest srew.I know,time is not a issue if you start this job,but I am just interrested in the time frame of the rebuild.

Amazing work. Great video of before and after. That machine should be in a museum. It’s perfect. Thank you for sharing.
Bill - you should do it! It's very rewarding. Plus you'll be doing a great service to some of our (dwindling) American history!

Thanks Denis, its gone now, but I was real happy with the results.

Fantastic job brad, in order to achieve the finish that you did, how many coats of paint were applied, how long did you wait between each coat, thanks for your time
Honestly just one coat. Using a small brush really laid it on thick. I have a video (scroll WAY back) and I show the brush, etc. glad you enjoyed it!

A proper job there. Not just a strip and paint. How common are the taper attachments in the US? I think both your machines had them on? I've only seen one come up for sale on fleabay in the last year in the UK, and that was with a lathe. I'm guessing that if a draw bar and collets regularly fetch $225, then a taper attachment is going to be $450-500 in the UK. How would that compare with US prices?

That’s great! The paint formula is in one of my legs, restoration videos, or the drill press video. I don’t remember the code off hand.
Just getting into machining. Found a 10k maybe. Really great video
Again a beauty!!Like the others..just AMAZING! How long did you need to compleet i?.Its hard to tell in the clip.But I can only imagine how much it was,as you dont miss even the smalest srew.I know,time is not a issue if you start this job,but I am just interrested in the time frame of the rebuild.
