Mar 5, 2011 - Thank you sir. I just wish I had more time to shoot it. Building them takes up all my play time.

Apr 21, 2011 - No kidding! I hear gunsmithing takes up an enormous amount of time! Thank you for taking the time to put up these videos, they are very telling for those interested in the finer details of the material, myself included

Feb 22, 2012 - What kind of lathe is this sir? Looks like a leblond I used to work on.

suar08161991 Says:

Feb 22, 2012 - It's a Clausing Colchester 13x40 with a 16 speed gear box, and a 5 HP 3 phase motor. I run it at home through a 7.5 rotary phase converter. It is a 1988 model that I bought used in very good condition. Very heavy and solid running lathe.

Mar 21, 2012 - say a 17 year old junier in highschool wants to be a machinist more over a gun smith where should he start.

This will give you the opportunity to buy what ever tooling you want to have a dream home shop where you can play all you want. Being a machinist is fine, but you can be so much more and still be a macinist working under your own rules. Best of luck either way.
