One of the great many things that has been occupying my time lately. Finally had a chance last night to edit some of the clips I've shot of the project, into the start of a proper rebuild video series.

Don't laugh too hard. :D

I'd forgotten to turn the cameras external mic on more than a few times. and so had no sound whatsoever for much of this video. That forced me to try and add some music- the editing software came with quite a bit of royalty-free stuff, but I also didn't have several hours to root through it all to find anything better.

Let me know what you think. Constructive criticism always welcome. :)

Doc.

Hardinge HSL-59 "Speed" Lathe rebuild, Part 1

I picked up a small Hardinge "speed" lathe as a second-op lathe to complement both the turret lathe and the CNC. Got a decent price, but she was a little rough. This is mostly just a cleaning and paintjob, but there's a few things that had to be fixed... I'd also like to apologize in advance for the music...
