Raglan Little John lathe?

[Austin in the Shed]

A good old fashioned book first published 1948 from the days when model engineers could make a 1/4 scale V8 engine or 4" traction engine on a Drummond round bed and pillar drill.
Well worth a read for a budding lathe user.
As Bob Culver wrote you could get more interested making things than restoration.I did when wanting an oil button and belt speedo drive for my chummy 30 odd years ago.
