Some of you may remember I built a bowl Lathe and posted the build here
http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/f16/bowl-turning-lathe-13857/
I have been approached by a fellow member to build one of these for him. I live in Western Australia and he lives is America which although it can be done makes it a bit harder what with frieght (it will not be a lightweight) we have 240 volt electrics not 110volt and some parts which may need replacing from time to time (bearings, belt etc) will be metric if source in Oz where as US is predominantly imperial. He is willing to pay for it so I have suggested trying on here to see if anyone is interested. I like most people are patriotic and like to keep things homegrown if possible and I am positive there are more than capable people in the US who could maybe help out.
How about it, anyone interested?
