Bonjour tout le monde!

Bienvenue, ami, profite du voyage!

[OK, my High School French only got me so far – thanks, Google]
 
Already said hi, but a big welcome from an Ontario farmer too!

Nice looking lathe!

I am not fluent in French but I can manage and have very little trouble reading it. There are quite a few other members from Quebec.

Enjoy the forum!
 
Another Bonjour from Vancouver Island! What do/did you grow? We grow strictly for our own use, but have several types of apples, cherries, berries, and plumbs. I was involved in the Natural Food Coop in Montreal in the early '70's. Spending more time in the garden than in the shop so far this year...
 
Welcome Francis, the Walcott is a beauty. Did you do the work?

Tony at lathes.co.uk may be interested in some pictures for his site, he only has catalogue pictures and no actual machine pictures.
 
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I cheated. The picture of the lathe is when I bought it. The paint is no longuer spotless and the whole machine is, well, quite dirty...

I will post more info on it in the proper forum.
Cheers!

What was the name of that coop?
