    Boxford Model A - My first lathe

    I bought an old lathe yesterday. I'm going to strip off the paint and try to get it as smooth as possible. Then it's time to learn how to set it up and use it. Can't wait to get started

    It's raining tonight:



    Any tips on paint removing and finnishing is most welcome. I have moved it in to my basement, and will start degrease it tonight.

    I have disassembled and cleaned the machine, but have to finnish my mill before I start the resurrection of this.
