hurt your modeling ability. Fine job so far my friend.....

Thank you all once again. I discovered that I made a mistake and will have to take some of it apart. It involves the path that the belts need to run. Should have seen it coming. I will tackle the changes tonight.

I finished the lathe tonight. At least as far as I can go without adding more walls. I added a belt changer, some small details, and finished the overhead crane. Getting the chain threaded through the blocks was very frustrating. I as ready to give up and ask Mrs Hopeless to teach me knitting!

I am giving this a 9.7, I will raise the score when I see metal more filings on the floor and a close up of the pin up girl.

I'll give this a 10+. Exceptional work on a Western Scale Lathe.

Roland, This is stunning! I can see where Larry is coming from though. While the machinist might be too persnickety to leave a few more chips about, I doubt he could prevent some weathering on the brand new floor riser and tool tray set. Speaking of chips, my guess is a Sherline would make them in about the right size for this monster!
When threading the chain, did you think to try a pull line of thread? I find that trick usually solves all my threading problems.
Oh yeah, and the pin-up. We definitely need a better view to ensure all is right with the world.
