Time to move on

Wow, almost 3/4 of a year since my last post. Since then, I've gotten a little more done. But, the biggest change is that I purchased a 10" Sheldon lathe. This lathe will meet my needs much better than the Leblond, so it's time to find a new home for it. Here's some photos of how it is now.



This blog pretty well details what's been done. This is what still needs to be done:

*Paint cross slide and components
*Strip and paint tailstock
*Strip and paint headstock clutch cover
*Strip and paint apron
*Strip and paint feed gearbox
*Fix missing teeth on rack
*Strip and paint drive gearbox
*Design drive system (pulleys and flat belts need to be purchased)

The only parts missing from the lathe are some fasteners. Some are normal sizes, but some seem to be odd sizes (such as a 1/2-12 thread).

Here's a few more photos.
