    Show off your vintage lathe.

    Have a couple of small lathes belted up to the line-shaft in our blacksmith/ machine shop. Light duty, but definitely vintage. First is a Seneca Falls Star No. 40. Was electrically driven when I got it, but belt driven again now after a full restore some years ago.
