It's not obvious to see how this recent acquisition might become an obsession but then, you don't know me, I obsess easily 😉

In 1984 I took a job as a design engineer with an electrical switchgear company called Dorman Smith in Preston.

The Design manager then was Doug Eaves, a man we all liked and respected.

Doug died last year in his eighties and a mutual friend who was helping his wife to clear his workshop prior to a house move offered me his old lathe.

I find there's something special about taking on another person's tools. It makes me think of how they worked, the ideas for the projects that claimed their waking thoughts.

I already had several projects on but as I start the refurbishment of this useful tool it's quickly become my new obsession.

One thing's for sure, it won't be red when I've finished.

@gsuberland Where was all this beginner project-based stuff 10 years ago when I was trying to learn ?? mrpete222 was the only one teaching and everything else you had to pick up by watching people do things.

I've barely touched my in the last few years. Maybe this channel will get me back out there.
