    Default Just wodering

    Guys I'm looking at a small lathe on ebay....I think sorta like a watchmakers lathe in size but its pick up only and a couple days to go. If I were to win it could someone close pick it up and box it up for posting to me? The motor is stuffed apparently but as its separate it & the baseboard could be left behind. I won't bid on it without a way of getting it here so I thought I would ask. Pm me a mesage or phone number if you want to talk about it.

    If I was in Melbourne I'd help you. But I'm a bit far away.

    If that's the one in question - Drummond style.

    Hi,

    Seen this on Gumtree. Pretty cheap for what it is (thats without seeing it run). Be easy to mail as well.

    I'd buy it just to have one but I have nowhere to hide it from my missus.

    Cheers Ben.

    Hi Ewen,


    "That little lathe Ben linked is tempting......."

    She's gone. The more I looked at it the more I seriously thought about buying (not that I had any real use for it).

    I've only been back online a couple of days and the bugs got me again!
