Many of these great old machines are getting scrapped, when they excel for certain tasks. While the machine might not be worth much on its own, the machine coupled with the craftsmen's skill is where the real value lies.<br /><br />Glad you all enjoy these. We'll try to do more this year.Jameel Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083855284894791544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-70531163060509766302012-01-23T18:19:46.155-06:002012-01-23T18:19:46.155-06:00Darn, now that's a lathe!

The tap didn't actually get launched. I used a little creative license there.

When operating it, Jim seems to stand in a very precarious position near the tap.
