Well done Jims wife lucky discovery and yes I noticed the mill at the back going to say they belong together. Altogether a no brainer this decision Jim.

Filling the shed has begun. Now you have to rearrange everything. I sold my large mill a year ago and I miss it. A 3 in 1 is in my future, just do t know when. Congrats on your new acquisition.

The lathe was brought from a house in my avenue about 100 yards away .. Pulled down by a hand pallet trolley .. I spent a bit of time with the man's Son Simon, reminiscing about our Fathers and what they got up to etc .. While there i was looking at a milling machine that she is selling a NU-Tool one with enough accessories to run a shop, this was my Fathers sold to Bob after my Father died .. I doubt that had i the room to put this i wouldn't have bought it .. An Aladdin's cave to someone for sure ..

Anyway here she is sat waiting to be cleaned and brought back to life ..

Having that milling attachment is going to open up another world, hexagonal pen blanks for example.
