Centrix "Micro"

These old lathes just seem to have more soul than new shiny imports. Small "watchmaker" lathers that were ment to be used by the home machinist, or model engineer.

Man, what a difference sliding that seat back made. Looks just a little meaner. Top picture before, lower pictures after.

Pickup Winders

I'm in the process of creating a good pickup winder that will do what I need. Just thought I would share some different winders I have come across in the past.

Leo Fender's Winder from the first G&L shop... notice the dirt simple design (thats a sewing machine motor) and the mechanical counter driven with rubber bands.....

And some other very nicely build winders...did I mention how nice these are? With mechanical and electric counters.
