Another Napier dweller here. Purchased my first lathe when I was 14 and have been tinkering ever since, mainly steam engines but planning on building an IC engine one day when I get the time. Working more on cars these days but the lathe still gets the occasional job. Cheers, Nicolas

Looking very good, that base is a very impressive piece of work. Look forward to seeing more of this build

I've been getting too many processes for 2 days now so it's not just you.

It has been down for the past 20 hours for me. Two days ago I got the "too many processes" a few times. Then is worked for an hour or two. And now it just says "error, site not found"

Gus, you have a PM :)

Thanks for the photos Gus, they are very helpful :)

That's a very nice toolpost Gus. Is the tool holder clamped against the tool post? could you provide a photo of the tool post with out the tool holder on it? Thank you very much :)

Thanks :) This engine won't be forgotten for sure, I'm very proud of it :)

I didn't have many other options sitting here in New Zealand, I could in port a super 7 B but that would cost a fortune. I am very happy with my lathe, I think I got a very good deal. If I ever get the chance to buy a good super 7 I will take it. If you dislike QCTP's that's okay, but don't go...
