This is cool. In CT.

From their ad "I have a 1913-1914 Dalton metal lathe in great condition with accessories. I am asking $500 for all.

Wow, that is a work of art.....

Cool expression, Irideiam! Gonna use it.

That lathe really is. When I first saw it, wanted to put it in my living room, under glass and only work it for demonstrations and to clean and oil once a year. The wife was not fond of this thought, snork.

..and 500 bucks is the deal of a life time! Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking... ] and to be broke.

....work of art....corrected, not heart

Dan · Oct 27, 2014

LOL, Irideiam. Both work.

Imagine the time and expertise it took to make that in 1913? No off the shelf parts.

Glad you posted, CM. I just realized the pic would disappear if it sells.

(LOL, I am secretly hoping it won't and I'll get it)
