Hello From Stafford

[Keith Payne 1Participant @keithpayne1]

Hello to all.

I am now a retired prototype toolmaker and still enjoy making anything I need . I have an interest in old machinery and have recently added two lathes to my collection. Both are from between 1890 and 1920. I will add more details when I start to sort out what I have. In the meantime I will be looking for help with finding out more about them but also hope i can help others. Regards Keith

Welcome Keith, it'l be nice to have some details of old machinery although my oldest machine is a Boxford AUD. I have some old tools though.

Welcome along Keith, I managed 45 years with an old 1942 South Bend lathe, upgraded to a 1990s job on retirement. Look forward to seeing what you have from another Staffordshire lad.
