Restoring old lathe

[AES]

Great WIP Dominik, thanks for taking the trouble to post it. That's going to be - already IS! - quite a beastie!

BTW, I really like the green "speckle" finish. Is it Hammerite (don't even know if it's available in Poland, sorry). And how did you apply it - spray, brush, or aerosol rattle cans?

 

[Dominik Pierog]

Yes dark green https://a.allegroimg.com/s1024/0c2245/a5eb2b2f4dfe984d535d959ae8ad

I buy cheap paint gun for that. Because is way cheaper than buy new 2,5mm nozzle...

OK, thanks Dominik. From your link I see that Hammerite is indeed available in Poland. Personally, I quite like the stuff, though IMO, the fairly recent change of formula has not improved it (from the application viewpoint) but once hardened off, it's still pretty good.

Manufactured missing banjo stand/base

very good effort.....

 

[Dominik Pierog]

Banjo is original but tool rest perhaps not.

 

[Dominik Pierog]

New addon for lathe.

woohoo a tombola! Whats the prize and where do we get tickets

 

[Dominik Pierog]

Looks like an old fashioned british prize raffle machine. Was making fun of a very british tradition of prize draws by clubs etc to raise funds by giving members the chance to win usually useless gadgets that end up in the cuboard under the sink lol

 

[Dominik Pierog]

I correct translation. Its ok to post it on General Woodworking to show this technique?

Looks great, well done.

 

[Droogs]

Dominik an excellent technique and a superb finish quality to the pieces.

What chuck is that? Looks suitably large to go with the beast of a lathe.

 

[Dominik Pierog]

Which chuck? On the lathe is 3jaws 200mm on the table Nova Titan3.

It will be mount on 3jaws chuck and part of spindle i will make adapter.

Lathe have power feed, i add small engine and gear because original was too fast for turning.

 

[Dominik Pierog]

I add subtitles.

 

[Dominik Pierog]

Adapter almost ready.

 

[Dominik Pierog]

Repair and modify original banjo and made some toolrest's. Pipes with welded screw. Also my vacum pot made from old pot... its too big.

 

[Dominik Pierog]

Ant the adapter is ready... Nova chuck is ridiculous tiny.
