Bill Huxhold's working scale model Hardinge lathes, mills and engines
I first saw some photos of Bill Huxhold's work on Jose Rodriguez' site from Cabin Fever 2000. This year, I made it to CF 2001 and seeing Bill's lathes and engines was high on my list of priorities for the show. I was not disappointed! Wow, what a craftsman!
Miniature Mill, Dividing Head and Mahcinist's Vise
Here's a really nice little mill with an indexing head and machinist's vise. I'm not sure if Bill made this or not, but I suspect he did since the details are similar to those on the lathes.
Working Miniature Model of Harding Turret Lathe
Here's Bill's fully functional scale model of a Hardinge turret lathe, taken from the back side. Scroll down and you will see a small brass goblet turned on this machine in a quick series of operations using form tools.

And a little valve...
