I’m putting this up as a little experiment, as much to see if it will work, as to play into pop culture…( I believe the original intent behind You Tube was to host vids like p-bucket does photos and it tangentially took off from there )
Plus I think it is both interesting and a little out of the ordinary, and may be of interest to some of you.
It’s a Trevor Trunnel Lathe ca; 1870’s, it spent most of it’s working life in a shipyard in Bath Maine and for eight years now, since it’s resurrection, it has been in the possession of a fellow framer and bridgewright and has been punching out 1 ¼” 1 ½ “ and 1 ¾ “ trunnels for covered bridges
