Got a lathe in my basement. Working on a silicon boule for a friend.

I had a small lathe (and etc) in my garden room. Had to sell it all, or give it away when we moved abroad.

Great! What do you have? Mine is a G4003G Gunsmith lathe from Grizzly. It weights about 2,000 pounds and is really nice. I also have one of their cheaper mill/drills, which is a bit of a nuisance. The DRO helped it a lot.

Not many people can say that. I got one too. It is a 13” South Bend from around 1960.
