I've been wanting to try my hand at more metal machining and started looking around for a older metal lathe. I came across this gem about 60 miles from where I live. This is the first part of a journey into hopefully restoring/refurbishing this 1941 South Bend 13"x5' Lathe.

Thanks to Joe, TJ, Mike and Chris for the help and borrowed equipment.

I am a long time maker that dabbles in more hobbies than I can afford to do at once. I started this channel to document my adventures in my 2014 Jeep Wrangler (Lil' Mule) that has had many modifications made to it since it left the factory and has traveled to many spots across the US. My other interests include welding and metal fabrication, wood working, model railroading, machine restoration, and more. My videos are more of a "How I Did It" commentary than a "How To Do It" documentary. I hope you enjoy watching these as much as I enjoy making them.

Check out our other videos on Jeeping, Welding, Metal Fabrication, Woodworking, or just plain having fun.
