Lathe pics for djstimber

[Woodlee]

Dj ,
Here's a couple of pics of the Myford and the Record No 52 1/2 quick release vice I got at the auction last weekend.The vice I paid $32.00 for .
Now I need to build a wooden bench to hang it on.My woodworking bench consists of two old freezers with a 1" thick chipboard desktop placed on top.
The wooden blocks under the feet ar just to raise it off the bench as the capacitor on the motor sits on the bench .
I plan to get some aluminium or steel to make proper feet with level adjusters.
Would like to make a swarf and coolant tray as well.

I got a 9" Joplin vice similar to that for nicks... a mate saved it from a skip bin.

I havent looked at this vice at any great length as Ive been busy with the lathe ,but it looks like it will open out to at least 10".
It wieghs a ton ,so I won' t be hanging it off the makeshift bench any time soon.
if its no good it will make a good anchor for my 12 ft tinny .

nice score! I would love a nice sized metal lathe like that.

Beefy looking vice too. How wide are the jaws, 10"?

Nice looking machine, i'd also be interested in a better shot of that pic on the wall, just for OH&S reasons of course...
