I was excited to see this in an old factory that was used for exhibits. It was very much like the one I used at high school, Brooklyn, NY in 1946.

Well shown in monochrome. A heavy duty tool!

The image looks more like a piece of art rather than specialized machinery.....well composed with balanced hues and highlights...V

A great find and treasure. Your composition and toning convey the nostalgia so well.

Something so special in seeing these old machines...I find working with a lathe so enjoyable. V

I enjoy seeing shot of mechanical objects and this is a neat one. Love the tones and limited DOF.

A nice monochrome Engine Lathe with tool post and cutting bit .the dial indicators are probably in the bottom tray for centering the work when needed. Nice presentation and detail. Vote

It does look like a beast! Nice photo of it.

Very nice... I still have a small metal working lathe and a large wood working lathe

That thing is a beast! Glad you connected with it! ~VV~

Like the tones and textures and the wide aperture. "V"
