Thank you. Useful. Judging only by the commentary you did not allow for the radius of the wobbler.

Hi. Thanks for the comments. Yes, I did allow for half the diameter of the wobbler, I regrettably, forgot to include it in the video and the commentary.

That was a nice interesting job! Did you source the bronze in France, or was it in stock? I have just made up some Vincent eccentric fork bushes and used up most of my bronze stock, not easy to get even in UK, you are right about the swarf! You will be finding that for months, just like a car windscreen glass. Stay safe! Chris B.

Hi Chris, thanks for the comment. Yes, I get bronze from a steel supplier in Limoges called Outilmetal. they are really helpful and the owner even speaks English which can be a bonus when searching for something that you know what it is in UK but not knowing what it might be called in France.

Nice job, looks like part of another lathe or mill. How do you get the dimensions from the customers, do you make hand drawings for them? Or do you have some pertinent French words at hand eg, steel, iron, brass, bronze, size, diameter etc, etc?🐞

Hi, thanks for the comments. Whenever possible take dimensions from the originals, or if it's a new piece, I discuss with the client what they want and make the part accordingly. My French is not fluent (and probably never will be) but it's very usable, adequate to talk about work. No need to organise words beforehand as I need to speak French all the time, afterall, I live in France so why not speak French?

Good job! I recently acquired a Colchester lathe with what appears to be the same GMT handwheels as yours. The cross slide has an imperial/metric graduated handwheel that I am having trouble getting back into operation. I have been unable to find any documentation to assist me. Do you know where I might find same? rgds mck

Hi, thanks for the comments. I bought a manual off the internet. Not sure where from as it was a long time ago, about 15 years. I know parts for Colchester machines are difficult to find as the Colchester factory has long since closed. Your best bet is to search the internet or just strip it down slowly, taking photos as you go and recondition anything that looks in need of attention. I hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for the comments. Sorry you don't like my music! The volume is very low and if you mute the sound you will miss the narrative that I put on to explain what and why I'm doing it. Glad it's has the Alo, Alo effect as I am in France afterall.
