Why hello everyone, I've been turning on and off for about 10 years. I also do a bit woodwork and rebuild woodworking machines. I mainly do wadkin machines which I have a bit of a reputation for doing. A few of my rebuilds have gone to america, new zealand, canada and a couple to australia. I'm from England by the way. For me half the fun is the machines. The last machine I rebuilt was for myself and it was a wadkin RU which is the second biggest lathe they made off the shelf.
I have always been interested in ornamental turning and had a chance to buy a few lathes a while back. A couple of Holtzapffels a goyen and an unknown one which I'm restoring now. The owner did some research and believes it may be linked to boyd or goyen. This is one part which I just finished.
