Thoroughly enjoyed your South Bend Lathe series Kevin. I learned quite a bit about about its functionality (always a good thing), your explanations about how the various controls work to accomplish various tasks was awesome! I like your video editing style, and the 'scenery shots' are certainly a plus! Keep up the good work. looking forward to more of your content. Multiple 'thumbs-up' and 'subscribed', have a blessed day sir.
Thank you so much for this kind comment. It gives me encouragement to keep going and making more content. Hope you also have a wonderful and blessed day!
Nice job on the guard, and the lathe for a matter of fact. I clicked on your video when I saw your lathe, I love lathes. Had to subscribe to your channel. Can't wait to watch all the rest of your videos
Looks great. Tight n’ tidy. I’m with you, scrapyard looks like a fun place to go. I see art and projects, not just garbage. It was nice to see you had a helper for part of the installation. As per usual - nice job with your editing, too!
Thanks. It would be a great source for one of those art pieces where metal is welded together to create something like a dragon or something. LOL! Thanks so much for watching!
lovely neat work Kevin, my lathe didnt come with the legs, pedastal or tray. I currently sits on a frame that I welded up using rusty NOS angle iron from a local scrap yard but I need to modify it as i didnt allow clearance for the carriage🙄 Then some form of undertray will be needed. I like the idea of a rear shield but I will extend the undertray out the front to allow some where to lay tools/parts whilst working. I'd been thinking of heacier gauge steel but will probably go with your 30 gaugue or whatever I can track down.
Your 15" SB is a lot prettier than mine! Just wondering how easy it will be to empty your chip tray.... Do you have access somewhere to use for emptying and cleaning out your short and also stringy chips? I've always wanted to add a chip tray to mine like the one my 13" SB has, but that is totally open for easy cleaning. Great videos! And yes, the work you put into your videos is obvious. Good job!
The pan under the bed has a front all, but the back part is open all the way to that vertical wall. So I should be able to sweep them towards the back, and get them there. If I have a big ball of stringy chips, it might take some extra effort. Also, at the tailstock end, the pan has an opening that I didn't show which should allow me to put a trash can for sweeping into. I had initially wanted to make it capable of handling liquid coolant, but right now it would leak like a sieve. Thanks for watching!
I really wanted to put a bow on the lathe project before staring another potentially long project. I still have a few more tiny details to iron out. Also, there have been so many good Bridgeport videos on UA-cam, that I didn't think I would show much of the Bridgeport cleanup. What do you think? Thanks for watching!
@@KevinToppenberg Bridgeport owners have always interest in more video's about there beloved machines. There is always something to learn about how someone is doing the job.
Wow! Impressive. Love all the "flavor" bits with nature, weather, the scrapyard. Also amazed at what you created from scratch.
Thanks so much. Was it this video that I got caught in the rain in the scrapyard? Ha! Hope you are doing OK. Best wishes, KT
@@KevinToppenberg Yep! And you made it look fun.
Lot of engineering and work. Looks nice. Enjoyed the video. Keep them coming.
Thanks so much. I'm happy with how it turned out.

That was a lot of work!
Thanks. I just wish I had an extra cool machine when I'm done, like your horizontal milling machine that you are doing over on your channel. :-)
@@KevinToppenberg Go out and find one! :) You still have the Bridgeport to work on, right?

Thanks so much. It has sure been a journey!

As long as it gets the job done, that's all that counts, right? I like your idea of having a place to rest tools. Thanks for the feedback!

Great job to keep the chips in controle. When do you start on the Bridgeport?
