At a local estate sale this weekend there was a huge lathe supposedly from the 1880s. Looks like it can handle stuff 8’ long. LMK if interested and I can check with the estate sales manager. I have no financial interest. I am guessing it would sell for quite less. It’s not my item. I’m not offering it for sale. I’m offering to put you in touch with the person who could sell out. It’s in St. Louis, MO.
