Shot a quick test video of using my recently-rebuilt turret lathe for it's first paying job. No narration, captions, editing or other embellishments, I just wanted to show the thing in motion.

And, I wanted to see how a video does, posted here. I still owe you ladies and gents a How To Draw The Whiteboard Way vid. :)

Warner & Swasey No. 2 Turret Lathe, first parts!

Making the first paying-job parts on my freshly-restored 1939 Warner & Swasey No. 2 Turret Lathe. The parts will eventually be accessories for Phantom paintball guns. The tooling setup is funky and odd, but it's also the very first time I've tooled this machine up for a proper job, and I was running short of ways to hold drills, so... compromises had to be made. I'll get it better sorted out in future jobs, but for the time being, it worked, and I was able to produce 24 parts in about 30 minutes. A full write-up of the rebuild process for this beast will be posted on my Machine Projects Pages at http://www.docsmachine.com/projects/machine.html
