This gif brings back memories.....I used to operate one these 4' Lathes many, many years ago.....When I first started at the plywood mill we only had a 4' Lathe and I began on the ground floor eventually working my way up to this job which was the highest paying job in the mill. After many years we installed a 8' Lathe and ran both in tandem. Eventually took out the 4' Lathe and I was one of the operators on the 8'.
