I had a look at the lathe last nite
The pictures don't do Bobs work justice
It looked like a new one but a "proper colour"
Bob also gave me the little diesel engine he restored
My Dad is a collector of such things
Bob you made a old man very happy

I will second what John says about the photos not doing the new colour scheme justice , I was there last night and it looks better in the flesh than in the photos.
I bet everyone reading the post is glad he did not go for Vomit orange
Good work Bob .... oh just remembered about this
cheers Mick.

Forgot to add, nice paint job, Bob!

I was stationed in the UK during my USAF career. Met and maried a Cambs girl. She had a Gordie uncle, and brother-in-law, so I learned to decifer Geordie, but I'll be damned if I can learn to speak it!
