G"day everyone,

In this video we can finally get around to getting the lathe back to a usable state. The only thing that I have left to do is make a new 4 way tool post. 4 way tool posts are not my usual go to, my usual preference is a quick change, but a of recent I have gone back to using a 4 way design.

This is mostly because I am using far less types of tooling than I used to, and its more rigid. This can and probably will change in the future, but for the moment I want to stick with a more basic 4 way design.
