@tailstock what's with your shop ? Looks to be more than a garage hobby shop , I see a lot of stuff in the distance .

It’s my home shop that I’ve been working on for over 30 years. This is actually the second building I’ve occupied. I thought when I first got this building, which was quite a bit larger than my first, that I would have all the room I would ever need. Foolish me.

In case you’re interested, I posted some pictures of the shop in my intro thread which can be found here.

Ahhhh, so thats why my lathe looks like it does, its customised patina.
Virtually all the paint on my lathe has deteriorated, peeled off, melted, dissolved etc.
The first jug of cutting fluid I used softened all the paint it touched.
I would like to tear it down and clean and repaint but what type of paint is the most durable.

I did a post in Practical Machinist about how I paint and the paint I use. Here’s the link to it if you’re interested.
