Hi John,

How does the Harrison compare to your Boxford in size? Are you replacing the Boxford with the Harrison or adding it to your shop?
Nice score with all that tooling. Wise choice going with a Harrison. Mick is an expert on Harrison lathes, as we all know.

Hi John, Good news on the lathe and goodies with it.
The only thing is history that even comes close to when the cabinet door became unseized and swang open to reveal a full set of tooling , was Howard Carter opening Tutankharmun's tomb  Drool Drool but far as I know he did not find a Pratt 4 jaw so you still edge it by a mile  Rotfl
  Welcolme to the Worship Guild of Harrison lathe owners  Worthy
  Cheers Mick

Good job! I can't wait to see your lathe. I'm a member of the Harrison fan club too. I have a M300 running and one in parts that I've been threatening to revive. I too want to see a video
