It does look similar to those South Bend lathes, can't find any in the thread that look exactly like it though.

My friend wants to upgrade to a larger lathe, and is going to sell me his. I've had an eye on it since he got it, so he offered me first dibs. What I know is that it's a Chandler-Farquhar, and he said he's pre-1920. He thinks that it came from a factory where it was driven off some sort of...

Finally made more progress, too much **** going on. The most important part;

Yeah my girlfriend and I did it.

Moved into this house last year, finally getting around to setting up my shop. I'm currently renting a barn about 10 miles away, and I'm sick of driving there to work on stuff, and not having tools around the house. Here is the garage when we moved in. A few weeks ago we applied Epoxy...

Hi, I wondered over here while searching for Dayton Speedair parts on Google. I'm also over at the HAMB. Last fall I moved into a new shop. These pictures are from right when I finished the initial move-in. I had just made the work benches and shelves. It's a bit more full now with the...
