The lathe on the stand. The wood lathe and the ML7 are back to back on the
same stand. I later moved the wood lathe to its own stand so that it could
be moved around easily. The plan is to be able to move it outside for use,
and also to fit it with a circular saw blade and table.

Wood lathe in forground, ML7 in background. Note the I beam across the
ceiling which I used for lifting the lathe onto the stand. My wife and I
carried it off the trailer and up the three steps into the workshop, but
neither of use wanted to ever lift it again!

I mounted angle iron to the wall and the beam rests on that. It should be
clamped to the angle, and will be before I use it again.

I made this board to hold all the gears and chucks. So far it has worked
well, but does need to be modified a bit to hold the faceplate and other
accessories I've made over the years. You can see the 4 jaw chuck there.
I made the backplate for it from a peice of flame cut 32mm plate.
Read about that here

At the time, I had this bandsaw. A very useful tool for working wood and
aluminum and I used it a lot. However, it had to go back to someone who
thought he lent it to the person who thought he gave it to me. I'll
replace it sometime with a power hacksaw.

The oilers were cracked and leaky when they arrived and I stuck them back
together and got them mostly sealed up. After a few years (2006) I now have to do
this again.

Severely damaged outside jaws. I'll regrind them.... though the actual
step faces are still very good and close to concentric.
