I used to work on old lathe's from around the 1950's THe biggest one was an old Lang Lathe like this one

Thhatching machine I found in the junkyard.

I finished my apprenticeship as a miller/jig borer. But working on design and development you had to be able to work every machine. I worked for the government making large heavy vehicles. Early days was all manual machines but later i worked mainly cnc's

That lathe looks like an impressive machine. I've not got a DIY bone in my body but would love to learn how to make/fix my own stuff using such devices. Unfortunately I'm not sure Mrs Stav shares my enthusiasm to fill the garage full of stuff that quite honestly wont get used.

One of us has to be a realist I guess :)

My wife doesn't complain about my stuff unless it is sitting in the yard with weeds growing around it. It helps that I can keep it out in the workshop and not in the garage. On the other hand, she hasn't been able to park in the garage for the last few weeks because I've been storing materials for another project in there. That can't last.
