Machinist Kitchen Table

Agree, the blending of metal and wood brings poetry and life into the strength and timelessness of steel.

Can’t believe I said that.

You've been hanging out at art galleries lately?

But I have to admit that was a great description!

I got a couple of four year old granddaughters. They would have lots of fun with that crank.

To heck with grandkids, I would have fun with that crank! Beautiful piece.

That is an extraordinary piece.

I love it!

I bet I could even get The Boss to go for it. She's not real happy with our current dining room table.

A shame that lathe was scrapped, there are folks that would have saved it intact.

The lathe was in a business near me and I found out that they were going to scrap it in 10 days. I didn't have room for it, but I photographed it and sent the information along to Keith Rucker of VintageMachinery.org. He posted it on his website and Facebook page and nobody wanted it. (they were asking scrap price) I stopped in the morning that it was to be picked up and removed the legs, cranks and some gears.

Well i think knowing the circumstances you did the Lathe justice. It really would have been a shame had that gone to the scrap yard. That was a unique lathe and you made a unique table out of some of it's parts. Beautiful !!!
