Good on your dad for passing that toolmakers box on to you! I couldn't afford one when I was an apprentice nearly 60 years ago, you hardly ever see them on the S/H market or at autojumbles so for years I used a 'Kennedy' steel one which is undergoing an 'oily rag' restoration. A few months back Machine Mart had an offer on their wooden chests so I finally took the plunge and it's pretty good for the money. Those Zeus charts on yours look 'Proper Job'!
@@kathrynwhitby9799are you mad? It never rains in the UK 🤭🤭😁 It won't matter too much, if I get a huge puddle I'll start it without the decompressor and let it boil off. Or sponge it out. 💪

Can’t wait!
Very nice work sir. That looks like a great lathe
Brilliant 👍
A sprung jockey wheel on each drive chain will take care of any discrepancies in tension
quick question, how are you going to keep the rain out of the cylinder-head?
