1940 South Bend 11" 111B 105014 IQR Rebuild By Ulma Doctor

Mike I totally understand. I moved over the summer, that means my shop was moved as well, all my machines where taken apart to get out of my basement and moved into my new basement/house/shop. Nothing is set up yet as work has just been busy. The good thing is now my wood shop will be separated from my machine shop. When work slows down I will work on getting set up. So again I do understand how life gets in the way sometimes.
 
Phenomenal thread! Full of detailed and useful info, but also of good-natured conversation and laughs!

Love the look of that compound in your last pictures of it...
 
thank you Gary, you are very kind.
i try to mix humor with projects whenever possible.
if i can throw a little education in as well, then i feel as that iv'e contributed.
that's my purpose and drive.

thanks to all who have read and commented.
the thread is still alive albeit slow in commencement.
 
Hi Mike,

The lathe looks GREAT! I know you'll do an excellent job on the restoration. The articles on the history
of the co. was unbelievable, I had to stop reading it to send you a message. Once again the best of luck with the restoration
process, I haven't been reading the post lately, we've been picking up leaves(that time of the year!)

Best Regards......................Kerry:))

P.S. turntable still working GREAT
 
Hi Mike,

Me again, I just saw the progress in the shaping the parts and scraping You really are Exceptional in your
work!!


Regards..................Kerry
 
Thank You Kerry,
you are very kind .
I try my best to do good work, even where it doesn't show.
the process for bringing Henrietta back from the dead has been slow, but a lot of progress has been made.
there will inevitably be more to come.
thanks for reading, i'll have more to show in a few weeks.
 
Just stumbled on to this... That's some great work Doctor!

Update 2/28/15
Sorry for the delay got sidetracked for a while.

I have just started scraping the Cross Slide Top,
heres a picture of the first blue up!
as you can see there is not much contact.
I'll make it right again.
It feels good to spend a few cycles on the lathe that hasn't got much attention lately.
thanks as always for reading
