Hello,
Well theres been a lathe in my Dads house since I was a baby,
Hes done a few bits over the years- mostly a few Stuart Turner bits. Hes managed a D10 which needs fixing up to run.
Theres a nice Basset lowke TE hes worked on as well, but like many of them its unfinished- though seemingly not far off.
Dads now pretty crock and embarrassingly ive never worked out the lathe- so its my turn to do some work. But Im pretty new to it all.
He has a Murad lathe (Bormilathe I believe) , its quite an unusual one I gather- so far Ive managed to make a few small production steam engine parts, collars and a piston, pretty easy stuff. but theres a load and a half to learn. Im also on another steam forum , and I recognise a few names from there.
Im from the UK- Stroud Southern Gloucestershire.
So I hope I dont annoy with the seemingly daftest of questions, but we all need to start from somewhere...
