Bombshell Lathe. The Machine Shop

[scootro]

In this episode of The Machine Shop we meet David, who is a knowledgeable and unique rigger and machinist. David pops into the shop to pick up a "bombshell lathe". The history of the Ryerson Bombshell Lathe dates back to the early 1900's and was prominently used in both World Wars. Whenever David is in the shop, it's guaranteed to be an interesting day.
