I agree with Arthur, the wood looks amazing. The subtle tone difference in the walls and around the base totally compliment the masterful craftsmanship of the lathe.

Here you go Larry. I hope you are not to disapointed. By the time I dusted it with chalks there wasn't much left. As far as metal shavings, I have been saving them as I worked on the machinery. I haven't put them down yet because I might come up with a few more details and want to be able to get a good bond when I glue them in.
Thanks to all for the comments. It is nice to know I am on the right track.

Roland,
I think I can move the score to 100 now. Looking forward to the next pictures. I will also have to stop in and see the finished model.

Roland...
It's always fun to watch when you are doing something. Always new ideas or info on stuff I had left out on my stuff.
Question: Did the traveling hoist in your shop come as a Western Scale kit or did you scratch it?
Take care.

Hi Rick. Yes it is a Western Scale kit. I was lucky to find someone at a train show who was selling stuff from his late father-in-law really cheap. Most of the machinery in the shop came from him.
Larry, I was hoping for a 10, but 100 is impressive

Weather really sucks today so I am stuck inside with no chores to do. Put this together this morning. I felt the shop needed a little color so went with yellow under all the rust and grime.

That yellow really makes that piece pop! I have some pieces I still haven't painted for my lowly machine shop, and I think I'll give that yellow a try! Very cool stuff! Russ

Thanks guys. It is a kit from Wiseman. I think I have built 4 of them so far. I got the idea from one of the photos Geezer posted, just didn't use a lawnmower engine for power. It will go somewhere in the shop.
