    Default Mr Pete's How to buy a South Bend Lathe Part 1, but also mentions Hercus

    Yes, but don't expect any info about buying a South Bend yet. Doesn't get a mention in Part 1. He did mention that Hercus was made and sold in Australia under licence tho which was good to see. The yanks do like to talk. I have just watched Mr Pete, Keith Fenner and Doubleboost videos yesterday and today. It really struck me just how little John talks (dribbles) compared to the others from across the pond. I still like to watch them, but sometimes I get a bit bored with the constant repetition etc.
