Default Rebuilt Lathe
This is a 6" Craftsman lathe built in the 1940's. I've worked hard rebuilding it. I know it's not a wood lathe but I thought you guys would like it anyway. I still have some final touches to do.

I could have taken this apart just like you did.......it's the "putting it back together thing" that often causes me grief. And that's the part of the project that really counts!
Nice job.
