Only until you get ahead of yourselves...I wanted a knee mill until I realized I'd have to build a building to house it.

Re: Picture in post #33
The Steyr Solothurn S1-100 (MP34) is beautifully made SMG. The machining is some of the best I have ever seen. They were made by masters in the old style of gun making. Some of the joins are so precise that you cannot see them without a magnifying glass.

The 10-shot magazine shown in post #2 above might possibly be for the ZH-29 rifle, which also will accept a ZB26 or ZB30 magazine.

Except for length, the ZB26 and ZB30 magazines look exactly the same as the ZH29 mag.

I have recently picked up an unusual magazine tin for 7.92 Bren mags. It's smaller than the usual U.K. .303 mag tin and holds less mags and is marked up as being for 7.92 Bren.
Provided you've got some high speed ranges, metalworking lathes will normally lend themselves to a little wood turning. My first Foreman was insistent that if wood had been turned on a metal lathe then every single grain of wood dust/chippings were removed from the machine bed afterwards. This was because he reckoned that the wood dust would cause the lathe bed to rust but I was never convinced it was necessary to remove every grain.

I turn wood on my lathe and also use my mill as a router but I always clean all the shavings and dust off, and re-oil the machine within 24 hours. The dust absorbs any oil and any humidity can cause rust speckling quite quickly. The old tradesmen were always meticulous about protecting their machines. Putting any tool on the ways was always good for a kick up the backside!
