Lodge and Shipley Lathe - Possible first purchase

Have to be vintage Pioneers,and worm drive Macs...chainsaws have had nickasil bores since its been invented..............anyhoo,like doggy girl ,I would go to see as many machines locally......you get a feel for the owners lying cheating and stealing.....and straight out fibbing when asked to truthfully say whats wrong....also get a idea to assess how desperate they are when they say they wont drop a penny on price,and then fold like fresh cowpat.
 
You're looking at some big old heavy iron there.
Not sure I'd want to mess with those, thanks, especially if I didn't have much experience.
Keep looking.

A lathe ain't worth messing with if it can't suck you in and blend you into a sack of bone shards and blood with out snorting.

In my opinion it's kind of the nature of the beast with metal working tools.
