Lathes of my youth...

Ok, there was just one. When I was in my early teens, my father bought me this Canadian Tire lathe for some unremembered job done. It was part of CTC`s cheap and crappy line. It cost less than $20 as I recall and came without any identifying name or marks. No matter, after adding an old washing machine motor and acquiring a set of Craftsman turning chisels I was ready to go. I played on that thing for hours.

 

 The only thing that remains of all that work is a chess set that my former girlfriend still has.
