Hi,
Many thanks David; I just knew it would draw a response but expected it from Big Al.
Leave them both well alone Alan; its hard and dirty graft restoring one of these lathes. After a session with the angle grinder I'm sweeping up lots of debris and once all the rust and old paint are finally removed then I'll need to clean the entire garage; this dirt gets everywhere.
I'd like to pop over to Oxenhope and buy two more bags of blasting media but I know if I do it will only start raining or snowing to prevent me from using the blaster again; I don't trust this climate one little bit having been caught out too many times. If I stick with it though I'll eventually get it ready for its new paint which should really transform its appearance and make all this work so worthwhile; you might tackle one of your lathes then Alan if mine turns out OK?
More paint/rust stripping is planned for tomorrow and I can't wait (NOT).
Kind regards, Col.

Happiness is a wreck of a cabinet to restore.
