Yeah I got my dad to make me mine. There’s 4 of them stacked up on the end of my bench in the middle image.
I’d love my own lathe. I was going through some old photos recently and found one of the massive lathe I passed on about 10 years ago when the uni my dad worked for were moving out of a campus. It was a proper big industrial thing. What was I thinking?!

Oh no yeah that wouldve been awesome. its such a handy thing to have around. To be honest you can get them quite cheap, a small one at least. Every so often they pop up on http://www.lathes.co.uk/page3.html/

haha yeah its not a bad space.
The tube blocks are the bicycle academy ones yeah. Tbh i'm not really that sure why i bought them. They were expensive as shit and i could've just made them. But they are nice.
the lathe is an old myford, from 1946, its awesome. I really like having it around, while small, it gets a lot done
