Hi Ryan, never used one of these lathes so I am not familiar with it, but on some other machines you will find that on removing the grub screw that holds the pulley in place there can sometimes be another grub screw beneath it.

Thanks for the advice BHT,
I will check for hidden grub screws under the ones on there it might explain why once slackened off the pulley did nothing.

Little Update and I'll post some pictures later but I am now committed to Black with Gold Pinstripe.
I know its cheating a little bit but I have ordered some Gold Coachline Tape.

Hi Guys,
I'm back at last and have loads of updates.
We had terrible rain and the shed sprung a leak a week before I went in for knee surgery. I haven't been well after developing a blood clot from the surgery and needed to have Ulnar Nerve Surgery too.
I'm happy to say that both the shed and the lathe survived and I finally finished restoring the old girl once I'm at the computer I'll upload some pictures of my project.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

Thanks guys.
I've done a bit of turning to check everything is working as it should.
I had some turning chisels that needed new handles so I made some.
