Ornamental Turning Lathe

Tool drawer

Not of Muckle manufacture (but as available to fit the lathe) a  contemporary slide rest
that allows the use of drilling spindles, eccentric cutter frames, etc.

Some component parts of the rest

Rest with cutter frame mounted

The Muckle as found: left to rot in a pig sty hidden away in a forest on the rain-lashed hills of Wales. The previous owner must have surprised at the response to his advertisement for an "old lathe" - competition for its purchase being rather keen. Rooting around on the floor and digging through the accumulated debris, the buyer managed to find a number of interesting and useful extra parts.


Worthy of note amongst this collection of parts is the beautifully-made, forged rive dog
