finally brought my 13" S.B. home

[wrenchbender]

well this has been a summer long project due to a death in the family and my job driving truck. It finally came home with me today. it is a
42 ish vintage. the lead screw is crisp and square, the qcgb doesn't have any broken gears, the ways are good, it came with a 4jaw, universal dividing head,and some other misc. parts. Over all i feel i got a good deal

I use Picasa from Google to handle most of my photo stuff. Free download.

Picasa lets you do basic editing. When you save photos it offers you a chance to reduce the size of the photos. I've found that 800 pixel wide photos upload relatively fast and work well on web pages.

WoW! I would say you got the better deal.

 

[woodtickgreg]

Wow! Very cool, what are your plans for it? Are you just gonna clean it up and use it or do a full restore?

That's one helluva trade! I've got a small trailer just like that. Think the guy you got it from has another lathe?
