How interesting you should post this gallery now. Charlie is about 3/4 through building his first Banjo! I'll have to send you a photo when he is done. I think I have at least that much sawdust in my basement. V

That is old but good machine. It looks like a rather specialized lathe. Well defined details an excellent control of the lighting conditions.
