I don't know what it is but I bet it would keep the river from washing your boat down stream!

There is a project for someone.

An old Hendy maybe?

Add says it is a Sidney.

I would add it to my collection if I were closer.

I like that super low profile compound- reminds me of "the war of the worlds" somehow
I bet that machine would clean up real well, but the bed looks a bit worn under the rust
Pretty complete though, even has a thread dial and two chucks- fun fixer upper

but the bed looks a bit worn under the rust

You can see that?
I don't see a lip, what are you picking out? I mean no disrespect, I don't do that!

I guess it's actually rust damage- look at the 4-jaw where it's resting on the ways- I can see what looks like deep pits or chunks on the front way
I wonder if that chuck was sitting there in that spot for a long time with a tarp over the machine outside? Sure looks that way

When I see something like this without a bit of paint on it, I can't help but wonder how it got that way.

look at the 4-jaw where it's resting on the ways

You would never see that on my lathe, unless I dropped it

Cottage Grove, Oregon is a mighty raimy place! I also noticed that the "lathe" (such as it is) is next to a bulk container placarded with code 3264. That's "corrosive liquid, acidic, inorganic." Fumes from the container might well have contributed to some of the rust, eh wot?
