South Bend Lathe Restoration - Start to Finish

I took clips from the videos that I recorded while restoring this 13" South Bend Lathe built in 1941 and strung them together to show an example of the whole process. I had a lot of fun doing this restoration. There were some frustrating moments, but it feels good to have to "done." Of course, for me, it'll never really be done. There is more I could do to improve the lathe, such as having the ways ground and then scraping the saddle, but those things will have to wait. On to other projects!
