1927 Magdeburg lathe in use up until about six years ago.

I love the big old lathes but often wonder what the floor must have been like when they were i use, essentially the operator would be walking in the chip tray.

A small SouthBend Lathe I owned years ago.

With screw cutting gear box, very nice lathe in the next level to my little Drummond M where everything, feed rate and screw cutting is done by change wheels.

When I sold the SouthBend these are the machines I replaced it with. More powerful and capable.

The cemetery was closed due to tree damage caused by high winds during the previous week.

Dad's standard lamp taken in the morning sunlight on one of the last days that I stayed in the Yorkshire house before putting it on the market.

I remember the lamp came from a reproductions shop in Beverley in the mid 1970's. It now has pride of place and a new more modern shade in our front room in London.
