That's pretty dope. I am now a fan. It's not entirely accurate to say that rose engine lathes aren't made anymore. They're still used in woodworking a lot. The guys who make the one I just linked also make one for a fifth the price who consider, as part of their team, the nice lady I'm taking my class from. (because OF COURSE Seattle is where an "antiquarian horologist" goth chick would end up) EDITED TO ADD: It's also occurred to me that it's pretty stupid to buy an antique rose engine lathe when a modern lathe, plus some numerical control, could make some pretty cool patterns. Can't wait for the table to show up.
