I just had to put up a picture of my little lathe.  I got it at a garage sale last summer.  It was made in the 1930's by Sypher Tool Co in Toledo, Ohio.  7" swing, 12" between centers and weighs a ton.



It does a great job on wood, antler and horn.  I turned these sizing cones for powder horns and a tip for my latest horn.

Dan, that model of LeBlond is probably my most favorite lathe I've ever worked with. You lucky devil.
