Hardinge lathe rebuild, part 1
Added 2021-06-06 21:58:20 +0000 UTCOne of the great many things that has been occupying my time lately. Finally had a chance last night to edit some of the clips I've shot of the project, into the start of a proper rebuild video series.
Don't laugh too hard. :D
I'd forgotten to turn the cameras external mic on more than a few times. and so had no sound whatsoever for much of this video. That forced me to try and add some music- the editing software came with quite a bit of royalty-free stuff, but I also didn't have several hours to root through it all to find anything better.
Let me know what you think. Constructive criticism always welcome. :)

2021-06-06 22:14:24 +0000 UTCI'd say the music fit quite well while not being the focus. And how on earth did all those shavings get inside/under the thing?
