Love of lathes.

[Nick]

... once this Lorch is fully restored I think I'll make a decent cover for it to keep it clean...

You'll never use it - its a work of art - just polish it every day and make the cover out of polycarbonate so that everyone can revel in its wonderfulness

I'm just so impressed at how its coming up like new - the green? I know its a "true" colour, but its a bit like mushy peas, both in colour and likeability - you love 'em or you don't

Now, British Racing Green - there's a colour for a lathe!
