Group photo of a few used locks recently acquired. Unfortunately the Granite 68 doesn't fit either of my motorcycle's discs.

You won't be disappointed, it was nine years ago (Almost to the day) I got mine.

Luckily I can't find a better picture, so you can't quite tell how bad a haircut I had as a 15 year old.
I remember that Adam, we were having difficulty getting the lathe off the trailer when your mum came along with some words of wisdom that worked, it was as if she moved old machinery on a daily basis

I was wondering if it was that lathe he got from you. Doesn't seem like nine year. Time flies.

If that were the case I'm sure she'd have cleared out her garage by now.

As promised here more pictures of my new to me lathe
Here an overall picture of it,on its cabinet and already removed tailstock and quick change turret, tomorrow I'll remove the chuck too ,those will live at home for at least a month prior to get a portable garage and have a some short of shop in my land .
Here a detail of the switch and threading chart plus my hand shadow
Pulley and change gear for the spindle speed
Which should be 4 on the motor , 2 mechanical on the spindle (hi-low)
Other 8 in the headstock between the 4 pulleys on the spindle and other 2 between the motor those pulleys upmentioned and shown in the pictures .
I didn't have a proper wrench to open up the change gear cover on the feeds speeds cover on the left .
Here the motor with its 4 pulleys .
The hi-low change gear lever up on the right and one of the two change gear levers for the feeds
Here the change gears bonnet with the spindle bore passage and the manufacturer logo CEB which I might try to search on the lathe.co.uk website if I'm able to find anything about especially the spindle speeds cause there's no indication on the lathe
I don't know if paint it back in raseda green or grey with the inside of the bed and the top of the bench in red .
I might make a dedicated thread about it later on when I have enough time and resources to properly restore probably in May or June
Now I have to unload the trunk of my car so I can take some pictures of rest of the acquisition.

Few bits and stuff for the lathe in a box
Line boring bar 25mm brand new never used it still has cosmoline protective grease on it .
The steady rest for it ,I think my buddy got the other one .
Tailstock,chuck ,chuck key and jaws .
Tool post with the tool holders attachments , a plate for bigger tooling.
Key for the chuck on the lathe .
Live centre,2 dead centres, insert tooling ,morse taper drills .
More in detail drills , insert tooling ,hss stock (Dormer,Impero, Sandvik )
Carbide inserts there should be two big (for the lathe I mean) boring bars , and few hss bits.
Threading gears , jaws for the chuck on the lathe.
At the end of the one of the chucks (they were 3) it's still attached to a dividing head bought by s a colleague and friend.
The line boring kit is half mine and half of him .
I think I got a bargain still

Lovely one
Why do they call them cotter pins. I grew up being told they were split pins, a cotter pin was and still is for me, the tapered pins that hold bicycle cranks to the spindles.

Apparently, UK usage is "cotter" means a wedge or tapered pin. US "cotter" is a split pin.
(It's been one of those days for finding the correct names for "stuff")
Cotter (pin) - Wikipedia
Originally, it's possible taken from "cottier"/"cottager" who would have a wedge-shaped piece of land attached to their house

I recall that a "cotter pin" was named after a cannon maker who produced breech loading naval guns that had a breech block secured to the gun barrel by a pin. It looks like the intention was to increase the rate of fire by not having withdraw the gun from its firing position for reloading.

Just clean it many times with WD 40 & a scotch brite green pan scrubber & soft cotton rags , it will allow you to familiarize yourself with the lathe and still have " The character of an old good working lathe .

A new clock, for the kitchen, free from a Facebook group. The kitchen already has a clock, but this one looks a lot nicer, and has the words "radio controlled" around the bottom, which excited me far more than it should have done. It was lovely to stick a battery in it and watch as the hands move themselves around to the correct time.

Reminds me of the other half's Jaguar. No matter if she fixes the clock time it uses the mother ship and sets itself something like 4 mins slow all the time!! Can't set the correct time on it at all
