Hi everyone on Canadian Hobby Metal Workers.
I have stumbled on this website a couple times and have been wanting to get into metalworking more and more. I happened onto a vintage metal lathe that I thought would be fun to restore, thanks to the guys here I now now it to be a W.F. & John Barnes Co. lathe from around 1900-1920. I have been impressed with the help and conversation and look forward to further and future conversations with all of you. I am new to machining but have a design background (I work in Architecture) and I look forward to learning from, and seeing how I can contribute, to this site.
Nice to meet you all.
