The Lathe is in place!

I’ve been doing lots of other things recently (I have an allotment, enough said) so the workshop has rather been put on hold, but today I moved the lathe into it’s rightful position…

I just need to bolt it down and I’m good to go. You might notice the concrete pad is wider at the left end – that’s because the floor dips down quite considerably in this side of the workshop. I considered just putting the lath in place, but decided a level lathe would be better.

So, some shuttering, mixing, laying, trowelling and waiting later, I have a level bed for the lathe to sit on.
