I’ve been very busy with non yoyo related stuff lately but as that project is now on hold till next summer (shipyard full atm) I’ve been restoring a small lathe. Wanted one to machine smaller parts at home (and it had to be one that would look good in our new place).

Still looking for some smaller tools and parts but the lathe is almost complete.

Unimat \<3 they are fantastic lathes. Definitely super well built vintage machines from Austria! Love them!
