The middle piece on the lathe looks like a spider

I've always wanted to make a spider chuck and that appears to be what that is. Maybe that will spur my interest and I'll build one.

Looks like an old AMT lathe I started with.

If it is an old AMT it never cost $150 when new.

Hey, I have one of those in the back of the garage! My Dad bought it from an ad in Popular Mechanics around 1968, for something like $29.95 (or maybe $19.95)! And it came with a set of "turning tools". I still have those somewhere, as well. He actually did some pretty nice work on that thing. We still have a set of turned (segmented) lamps, including a floor lamp. My sister has a segmented bowl that she proudly displays in her bookcase. All of that stuff was made in '68 or '69. I'm amazed at the quality of the work he did with that equipment. Anyway, thanks for the memories!!

Maybe sitting on a goldmine in N.E. Ohio

If it was a Dunlap...
