    Looks great Kev. It's technically a brand new lathe and we have had plexiglass for the best part of a century, so a great choice for your 'Vintage' machine.
    Best wishes, Dean.

    @goboyz8016 5 месяцев назад +1

    That is awesome work. You could put a magnet on the end of the stopper stud that locates on the cast iron frame to secure the guard and keep it from rattling. Then again that could also get filled with swarf and be a pain in the a...... Just a thought. Amazing build.

    It keeps you safe and doesn't spoil the look of your micro lathe great design. Would be great if you did a sterling or any kind of engine on your micro lathe it's something i have wanted to do for a while but every time I look at stock metal prices I think I'll wait to i find some cheap old scraps but unfortunately that is going for a premium last time i looked. Great video as always.

      yes i didn't want to do all that work just to hide it.
      Watch this space for the Low Temperature Differential Engine, might just do a simplified version to start with, using what ever at hand or cheap materials, or recycled, i'm still as tight as cramp🤣🤣🤣🤣

      hi Kit
      all parts made from items around my workshop nothing bought as as tight as cramp🤣
      the casting for the lathe bed and tailstock turned up at are model engineering society shop from a shed clearout. i bought them for next to nothing, and have produced the working lathe, all the history etc is in my Intro to this playlist.
