Hi Brian, thank you so much for your kind comments, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊

i know im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

@Trent Roger Instablaster =)

@Aden Dominic i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Aden Dominic It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

Hi Mike, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video😊👍you're right, this item looks so much better cleaned up but with the age related marks left in place😊👍

Ciao Roberto, grazie mille per il tuo gentile commento, sono davvero contento che ti sia piaciuto il video😊👍

Hi Billy, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊

The wizard was a budget version of the flexispeed which changed names to cowells 90 and is still being made to this day which is a testament to how robust and successful the design is.The Swiss schaublin is the only one I know of to outperform it but be prepared for some "open wallet surgery"😂

BUT NOT ! THE ! PRICE ! TAG !! THOUGH !

Hi Madame-Legurts, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, I have every intention of making a follow up video of the lathe being driven, in a very special way😊👍

Hi Gary, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you found the video engrossing, even at the expense of your sleep. You've got about two weeks to get some rest in before the next one😂😊👍

@@restoreandmake Apparently I had watched one of your videos before and had already subscribed.. I can't imagine how long it took to restore the lathe, and record, and edit it.. But it was great.. fantastic camera angles.. Keep up the great work and I'll try to get some sleep 💤 in preparation for your next video... lol.. God Bless and take care...

Hi Francois, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video👍😊

Hi mrrgstuff, thank you ever so much for taking the time to reach out and comment, it was great to hear that the tail stock centre comes out, it looked like a solid machined piece. It's also great to find out you're the owner of the lathe in the picture on the website, I think Ben, Tool Addict, and I are very jealous of the cast base you have and we're on the lookout for one for the follow up video when we get the lathe running😊👍thanks again and keep up the great work on your channel😊👍

@@restoreandmake Thanks 😃👍. Be interesting to see if another cast iron base shows up. Its hard to believe they would have only made one, but I suppose if they didn't sell, any left over from the batch would have been just melted down for scrap. I bought both Wizards in quick succession and the other one is heavily modified, but did come with a lot of accessories which is why I snapped it up at the time. I must really put one or both of them back into working use and should really do some more videos on them. I haven't done it yet, but I always thought the most useful accessory to make would be a spindle thread adapter as its impossible to get accessories which fit the thread thats there (it is a standard BSR thread IIRC). The tapers at both ends are short Morse 0 fitting I think, and I do have a tailstock drill chuck, but I don't think mine was an original accessory. I think it would have come with a pair of centres for between centres turning, and used like this you can take much deeper cuts. Looking forward to seeing more of your one. Thanks again 😀 👍

Hi Juan, thank you for your great comment, the "turnscrew" is a really lovely little tool and is probably over a 100 years old which makes it really special to use in my restorations😊👍

Привет Сергей Василич, спасибо за отличный комментарий, это действительно редкий маленький токарный станок, в мире должно быть всего несколько штук, так как они были сделаны только в течение короткого периода времени👍😊

Hi Storm Khan, thank you so much for your kind comment, there weren't any bearing at all, it just relies on the screws being tightened to keep the spindle true, saying that, there didn't seem to be any play in the spindle. I'll be making a video if the lathe in use fairly soon, watch this space👍😊

Hi Sillful Man, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, keep up the great work on your channel😊👍

Hi Gary, thank you so much for your kind comment, I think your idea sounds great, there don't appear to be any bearings in this lathe so some modifications would improve it no end😊👍

Ahoj Svatopluk Havryš, děkuji moc za milý komentář, jsem opravdu rád, že se ti video líbilo😊👍

Hi Deepblu dude, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, keep up the great work on your channel, it'd be great to see more of your motor restorations👍😊

Hi Peter, thank you for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video. Thank you for the great advice, I'm new to lathes and as it didn't come with the lock nuts I was oblivious to the fact they should have been there, I'll try and rectify that😊👍

Hi Frank, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, I personally liked the contrast of the two tone paint scheme but it's always good to hear other opinions on how people would approach the project😊👍keep up the great work on your channel, I especially liked the "my outdoor zoo" video, you're really lucky to have such a wide verity of wildlife on your doorstep😊👍

Hi Ben, thank you for your great comment, I think you might find that if Ben from the great Tool Addict channel keeps suppling these wonderful vintage tools for me to restore you may find you name written on the bottom of quite a few more projects😊👍

Bună Ioan , vă mulțumesc foarte mult pentru comentariul dvs. amabil, mă bucur foarte mult că ați apreciat videoclipul👍😊

Hi A Tasty Cloud, thank you so much for your great comment, I have to say that lathes are not my speciality but maybe someone will see this comment and give you the information you need😊👍

Hi Jamie, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really glad you liked the video, I'll have to look into your theory, I'm sure I put back everything I removed so maybe it was missing to start with😊👍

Hi Hassan, thank you for your kind comment, I'm so glad you liked the video, we have a small electric motor that could drive it but in a follow up video we are going to show it working in a very special way👍😊

Hi Larry, thank you so much for your comment, it really is a lovely looking little tool, I expect mini lathes like this are reasonably tricky to use and not overly practical but we're going to find out fairly soon in a follow up video of it working😊👍

It is a clock makers lathe accurate ad hell
