Nice!
Brings back memories from my youth in the seventies. I made one of these wobbling steam engines at school when I was 14-15. Not anywhere as nice looking as yours, but it works and that was the main thing then (and still is, for me). It was my first venture into real metalworking, and I decided that I needed to own a lathe. Since then metalworking has been a part of my life as a hobby alongside motorcycles.

It took however some years until I could afford a lathe (and have a workshop to accommodate it). Now, I have had my old Harrison L5 lathe for perhaps 15-20 years. Later, I also bought a Galinto CNC lathe, but had to sell it again (too big for my workshop), but the old Harrison is still here.



I bought an issue of the mag "Road Racer Ireland" last time I was in Dublin, and noticed that Michael Dunlop has a similar lathe! (at least this image suggests so).

(for those unfamiliar with the Irish racing scene, Michael is son of Robert and nephew of Joey Dunlop)

We need a thread to post or discuss our machined motorcycle parts or tools...

Yes, we do!
But where do we place it?
Under "General forums/ pictures and videos", or under General forums/general discussions", or under "Technical forums / Other"?
