Another farmer ? Welcome . . .
I grew up outside Bayfield, Ontario (South of Goderich) on a beef and cash crop farm.
Machinery building and developing processes have been my 40 year career.
Married and moved to Kitchener 20 years ago.

Where are you located ?

Welcome to CHMWs.
I know of a member who has a Lathe for sale (12 x 24” - I think).
He is in Brampton and I talk to him often.

I will see if he can send the specs to me.

Welcome from another hobby machinist and farmer in southern Ontario over by Chatham.

My career was in the Auto Industry. I retired from that 15 years ago but couldn't sit still so we bought a farm with a really nice 40x80 shop. I already had an old lathe and a few other tools, but couldn't let that poor shop sit mostly empty - so I've done my very best to over-fill it. It is drop dead beautiful now - gotta walk sideways through organized chaos.

I'm the goto repairman for all my local farm neighbours now.
