       While I'm waiting for the paint to dry I thought I'd share this.

       I found this copy of Model Craftsman Magazine from April of 1939
       with what appears to be an Early Guilder Lathe.

       Hello,
       Small update
       I reassembled the newly painted disc and table for the sander
       and gave it a try, it actually worked pretty well for the lower
       rpms I was running.

       I also drilled a hole in a piece of aluminum. I will need a
       better selection of speeds if I want to do any real work with
       this tool.
       By "real work" I mean use it as it was intended, some light
       turning and wood working to construct a model boat or other
       small model.

       Looking good Bill, thanks for the update!
       You know what would be perfect for this would be a Sherline
       variable-speed DC motor. This is what I used to power my die
       filer:

       Zero to 6000 RPM, and a healthy torque curve. Of course,
       originality goes right out the window...[attachimg=2]

       Thanks for the suggestion Paula,
       I'll stick with pulleys and keep it closer to original. ;)

       Man, that thing is beyond cool - I wouldn't know how to use half
       of it but boy would it be cool to have.  People would think I
       was some kind of a skilled machinist having one of those!
