After several years of making plugs various ways other than with a standard lathe I finally found one that had a price I could justify. About 65 years old.
$50 later here it is, oh I did have to buy a belt and live center, but had a motor and pulley.
The trouble is, it has increased my production rate to the point where I may have to emerge from the mancave long before the fish get back.

A machine with a soul.

There's allot of juju in that lathe! NICE.....

long bed, nice lathe:ss:

Looks very similar to mine, almost exact . Nice find.

Don't look like you'll be going commercial ... good mojo off that rigg I bet ..
