My Lathe When I First Got It

HMF · Sep 29, 2015

I'm using Benjamin-Moore's Urethane Alkyd Enamel (M22 type). I also decided to go with a catalog stock B-M custom blend gray. I took a couple parts to my B-M dealer to get them scanned before I stripped them, but decided one of the custom blend colors in their catalog was more to my likeing over the factory color SB painted my lathe. Since I decided to use an existing B-M color, I neglected to get those parts scanned, which was a stupid manuever.... But I still have a couple cabinet parts that haven't been stripped and the paint is in good shape for scanning.

The primer I'm using is also B-M.... B-M's MO-6 (in gray).

I don't have the color blend code of the mix I'm using handy.... It's over in the shop where I'm temporarily keeping my H-10 to work on. If you're interested, I can go over and get it tomorrow and post it.
After cleaning:

Found a few dents in the ways:

I own a table saw, drill press, SB Heavy 10 and Burke mill.

The remainder of my basement, when I finish it, has to go for a kids' play room and laundry room.
P.S. Yes, one day I plan on painting the floor

Mine is in worse shape.

Looking forward to restoring it.
