Lathe rebuild Pt.1 - The bed, the saddle and the headstock

Hi everyone. In this video we'll go through part of the process of my lathe rebuild.

There might be a few things missing (like 'levelling' the bed before anything else), it was too much footage to squeeze in a short video.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone out there; at least you can look at some parts of the lathe that you couldn't otherwise without taking it apart.

Note: I'm not a professional and this is not a tutorial. This is just a careful reassembly with some improvements and compromises in order to have a working lathe in a short term. Be mindful of warranty loss if you choose to do this on a new machine.
