... so I give you "Martha" my new lathe. She's a 500lb beauty that hails from the 19th century. She boasts a respectable 9' x 26" capacity and does so with such nice lines. Martha was born to FE Reed during the height of the machinery boom in Worcester, Mass. Her childhood was spent spinning in a line-shaft mill in Orange, Mass. In her later years she retired to Shrewsbury, Mass to live out her live with a depression era craftsman. On a cold rainy day in November she was saved and now resides in a quaint area on Northeast Connecticut. Here she shall undergo a restoration and be brought out of retirement and back to a productive life.
PS, yes... there is a lot of stuff that came with it! I can't wait to restore this one!
Oh yea, you all know me... she was free! (though, the poor old Jeep was not happy to have all of that lathe stuffed into the back!
