Managed to get it back on its wheels today, so I can now move it around to make room for some more work on it..

[vhgmcbuddy]

that’s nice and well presented. I can tell just from the photos that’s its going to be something to be proud of.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks for that john, now that I have got it off the bench and the wheels on I have got more room to move and roll it about, so roll on the weekend.

Did you get a good deal on your tyres? I could do with a new pair for one of my Allen’s.

I started on the handles at the weekend, stripped them down then into the Etank to de rust them a good wire brushing then on with the etch primmer…

The Allen Scythe looks great, re the pictures not being in order, See my post in the Help and Information section on the matter. You will need to rename the pictures alpha numerically, so 001,002,003 etc….. It does work then!

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks for that Darren! and the pictures I will try that next time.

Handles painted, now to fit them..

[vhgmcbuddy]

Handles went on today, still a lot to do..

Looking great. Can’t wait to see the finished machine. All the fiddly stuff to do now.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Managed to clean up the fuel tank and get all the muck and rust out from inside! a long job, also snapped of the lever on the tap which was seized up, but made a new part on the lathe..

[vhgmcbuddy]

this is going to be the best one I have seen so far,must be handy to have lath skills when restoring as money can be saved on farming out to engineers. superb !

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks for that john!! but I must say I feel more at home on my wood lathe..
