Craftsman Atlas 618 1938 era "6x18" metal lathe 101.07301

So even though I have not yet finished the Buss Machine Company jointer restoration...this lathe came up locally on craigslist...and I just had to get it. So this video is my saga of making the basic mobile cart for it, as well as doing a walk around of the lathe.

Lathe Model # 101.07301
Serial Number: 6L 026017

With a GE motor.

This is a popular lathe, and there is a lot of documentation and information online for it, not limited to:

etc.

For now it has its temporary home, but it still needs all the detailed setup work done for it to be used properly. That will be for another future video.

If anyone reads this description, let me know in the comments on the video. :) I never know for sure how much or how little people read here.
