Went and collected the lathe earlier! brought it home but Mrs T banned me from bringing in into the lounge, although i was half way through the front door before she noticed . So for tonight she has to stay in the back of the car, the lathe that is, not the Mrs  . |

Dam this stuff is heavy! or i`m getting old . Here`s the original stand, not complete though. These lathes were originally people powered,the stand would have had a large wheel mounted on the left hand side, the wheel was a large pulley with an external groove that the belt ran in, the wheel was tredal operated, a pivoting bar that you pushed down with your foot. As you pushed on the bar, the wheel/pulley moved round, in turn pushing the bar back up again and via the belt which was attached to the pulley on the lathe, it would turn the lathe. |

The whole machine including base is cast iron, hauling it to the back of the shed by myself was not easy! I`d like a bit of sympothy when you see in this picture just what i had to negotiate!
Note to self....need a bigger shed, or less junk!

Anyway i did it, and got the lathe on the stand.
There she is in her new home. A vintage, Drummond Bros lathe. As mentioned before, she`s around a hundred and one years old, circa 1908, no serial number so it`ll be impossible to establish the exact year she was made. How many men have stood infront of her and produced who knows what?
