Great looking redhead @WEBERNV!

I keep looking at this pic though:

That's one nice looking machine.  What do you do with it aside from polishing Weber legs?

[WEBERNV]

Thanks @Neil_VT00. I picked the lathe up a long time ago so that I can make parts for this old Triumph chopper I am building. Of course being the cheap guy that I am, I had to buy a junky lathe and fix it myself. I believe it was manufactured sometime in the 30's, it is a Craftsman branded Atlas. Not the best machine, but good enough for me. So far I have made new fork bushings, wheel spacers, and threaded bungs (with british threads). Here is a before pic of the lathe, on the table I made. And a pic of the old scooter.





Sorry for the non Weber pics!

Love it!

Wow @WEBERNV, you've got quite a setup in that garage.  Beautiful Triumph!

[WEBERNV]

Thanks guys, the bike is a work in progress, and the garage is more organized chaos than anything. I think that is why I love hunting down old Webers and fixing them up. It is like instant gratification once you bring one of these old cookers back to life, and the thrill of the hunt is almost the best part. And it is by far cheaper and eaiser than working on that old scooter.

I get how you feel. I used to have a '72 Triumph, then I sold it, and now my son has a '72 Plymouth Satellite  in my garage, with a parts car in my mom's garage.  I'm glad Weber's are cheaper.

Put on my new Brian handle this afternoon, thanks @zavod44 it looks great. Here are a few pics.







Have not used the briquettes yet, but will post something when I do.
