Long Single Point Threading with a Follow Rest, Lion 23MT lathe

I can admit when I don't know something, and this video was sure a good example of that.  First I lost my audio on the first batch of footage.  I could have definitely used‪@therealmikerowe‬ to do his narrations for me.  Secondly, I have never used a follow rest before.  This was quite a learning experience, and I look forward to doing it again.  

Watch as I learn how to setup and run long threads using a Follow Rest in my new Lion 23MT lathe.  

Topper Machine LLC is an entirely manual machine shop located in Spooner, WI.  Our videos will highlight some of our shop work as well as the sawmill we built in the shop and our A.D. Baker steam engine, and others we work on.

Thank you for watching!
