As you can see I use my very solid and hardworking old Woodfast Lathe.  Originally we had a small Record Lathe, but I found I was limited to what I could produce with it, but nevertheless it was a good Lathe and sufficed in the early years when I first started.  Eileen and myself worked for many years together in the Transport & Freight Forwarding Industry, but there was only one occassion I managed to get her to have a go on the Lathe, but she would much rather use her Embroidery/Sewing Machine, Scroll Saw and Computer and leave the chisels to me.
