    Lorch lathe dissamsembly

    No the rings are not broken. Remove both rings by spreading the slot with a screwdriver and they usually pull off. Remove screw 1 then screw 2. Gently tap the spindle out from the direction of screw 1. Do not use a metal hammer. If you don't have a rubber or nylon hammer, use a piece of wood...

    Looking For My First Lathe -- And Some Questions About A Top Contender

    I believe he is an architect by profession. In one of his videos he mentions a mentor whom he used to visit secretly before the unification. He does not mention his mentor's name. Sharukh.
