A dream of mine finally came true, never in the world did I think I'd reach this milestone!
Found myself a properly chunky lathe, paid a deposit last friday and collected it today!
5000 lbs/2000kg ish of Swedish cast iron.
Made sometime back in the 1940-1960, can't find any kind of serial number sadly and the company couldn't give me any info either besides "at least 60 years old".
Even got a pallet load of accessories!
Model seems to be a Storebro BA SA 205B.

Today i stopped by the tools/ flea market. First thing i found was this MT5 to MT2 reducer, little dirt and some surface rust but its new never used. Bought it 8$, then i found and bought me couple of set of work gloves and a concrete drill 5$. Then i found and bought me a M22x1.5 Tap for 4$. Then i found me this old rusty driveshaft, bought it for 3$ and last thing i bought me 5 more security bolts for the little niva 2$.

Picked up a few things on a trip to Denver the other day. here are a few pics of the Brown & Sharpe 6' camelback straight edge. It was pretty rusty on the working surface, but about 6 hours in Evaporust soaked paper towels did a pretty nice job on it. That and a lot of scrubbing on the the rest of it and the wooden storage base. Haven't unloaded the 8 footer yet, but it's in much nicer condition. Cheers, Mike

Wow! Aukai said it well.

6 and 8 foot straight edges sort of imply you scrape large surfaces. I had no idea you you were into that. Do tell.

I have several projects where they will be usefull, and for what I paid for them, I can afford to have them sit until I need them, and have acquired the skill to use them properly. After they have served their purpose, I will likely sell them off. Mike

Bought a U3 universal grinder.
Comes with attachments for end mills, drills and lathe bits.
No piece of metal in my shop is safe now!
