Well done Chris, guess there might be a slight yearning for a bigger lathe now that you have been at such close quarters to big Blue, (somewhat better build than your experience I gather) and her companions.

Don't know about the lift for the blanks, from what I saw on a short visit some of Marks tools look as though they would need the benefit from a day or two in the gym to be able to heft then around with ease.

Good for you Chris,
I think it's great when forum members get together for practical experience.
It's a terrific way of learning and gaining knowledge,
there is so much still to learn.

Chris

Thank you for the comments. It was a pleasure and I was knackered as well by the end of the day - only just surfaced :lol:

Pete, it is a great workshop but the problem with having such a space is the clearing up, accumulating too much kit and too much timber. I've been meaning to sort that pile of timber for months
