[James GibbsParticipant @jamesgibbs75757]

Hi my names James, nick named Jammer as a youngster, been a gunsmith/gunmaker for nearly 14 years now. I have a machine I'd like to sell which I believe would be perfect for model making. Any recommendations appreciated cheers

You might get more interest if you can offer it to ornamental turners just because it is so unusual.

It would be nice too to submit some photos to Tony at Lathes.co.uk as there may not be many more still in captivity.
