Thanks Dale,,, very cool stuff.
Thanks to Royce for opening his shop to you. He has some very cool items.
What a cool little lathe! It looks like it was well built. :)
Great video, i will be watching them all. Looking in mens sheds what could be better, great idea Dale
Great video and very interesting tools -- thanks for sharing this. I grew up in Sterling and moved away in the sixties and I don't recall a Royce Chambers but I would have very much enjoyed knowing him. Strangely, we kind of resemble each other.

Hi Royce. Long time no see. Your work always impresses me.
you missed the joke Dale, when he said he didn't have any vices to give up he meant vices as in bad habits lol

Very cool little Lathe. I made about 20 or 30 bids on one on eBay a month or two ago (feb. 2018). Someone got a great deal at about 450 or $500.
GREAT VIDEO !!
Boley is a German Company. The vice is very good quality, but also very expensive. So $ 4 is really a steal, specially in this condition. The go in bad condition here in Germany for ~100 EUR, new for ~300 EUR
that machine shop in the sugar mill looks like the old Delta Sugar here in Sacramento....but it could be anywhere I guess.....

HI Doug, its in Northeast corner of Colorado
As a first year apprentice, I had to make from a block of steel a watch maker's vice. No lathes, grinders, except a drill stand were allowed to be used. Everything was done by hand, including having to make the hacksaw, used to cut the metal off the block. Dang! That was hard work. I'm glad I'm retired.

50 years ago was a very long time... I sometimes wish I could have cheated a little, hi, hi and used a CNC machine, but they were not yet invented. Blimy, transistor radios were new then too. 1966 was a looong time ago. Cheers.

Dale, The small lathe you reviewed is a nice machine and I like the use of change gears mainly for power feeding. I wish I had this feature will my small lathe. I have thought about doing something similar with further modifications to a small Unimat SL 1000 lather I bought new in 1970. About two years ago I started to modify the original Unimat and make it more useful (see www.homemadetools.net/forum/modifications-improvements-unimat-sl-1000-lathe-10111 ). The lathe is the smallest one in my shop but has proven to be very accurate and much better than its original purpose as a hobbyist lathe. Thank you for the new ideas, Paul
Hope you got many response form folks on the way.
finally! a lathe suitable for my Barbie play house!

OK, Dale, I have a 1/2 garage shop. Actually the woodworking portion of that takes up half the room, so I have a 1/4 garage metal shop. So you see I am very interested in miniature stuff because, perforce, that is what I do. That said, what would you do if you couldn't fit a big lathe in your shop? What if you live in an apartment and can't fit a Bridgeport in it? Well, there are some modern altenatives. The Taig (www.taigtools.com) and the Sherline (www.sherline.com) lathes and mills. They are (relatively) inexpensive, both USA. If you have a lot of money there are more. Foley comes to mind. Take out a second mortgage on your house, though. USA made. Proxxon is is very expensive but precision-made German stuff. I have a Proxxon MF70 mill and I love it. I have a Taig lathe and it's been a love affair for 10 years or more. This post is much too long already, but if you are interested, I can email you because I just copied down your email address.
The vice looked smaller because it's in front of a VERY big man! :)

How about A challenge > with your kit ; Build from start to finish; small lath. But here's the challenge , You can't buy New material. But you can use salvaged. stof built from . lick the Schr threads from wind up jacks for led scrooges . or second hand fined in car boots steel from a scrap yard or parts from an old bench drill. as a basic build platform . oK. thers the chaleange , we see lots of ammiter, have a go lets see how you professionals do it . I once built a shaper. out of a cast iron donkey saw . it worked a treat . Sold i but boy i wish i hadn't, it was one with two square bars . runing in a cast iron casting . & cut on it's push stroke . have fun if you tack up the challenge i will be watching .Les

(too much camera jumping) You can keep the zoomed-in images and the talk of the zoomed-out camera. Details are what basically matter.

video making is HARD! try it sometime. details do matter, however understanding how much work goes into a video like that probably took 2 to 3 GOOD hours, you need footage. and time to edit. I give Dale allot of credit, he makes high quality video in my eyes. Be Well!

@@supyrow it is hard to learn videography and do it right, but to be honest less effort and less editing would have made it easier to watch. Don't get me wrong, it's a great video, but you can tell they need more experience with videography.
