Thanks very much, both - that's really helpful and much appreciated.

Hello again,

Thanks for the offer of rough values. Could someone give me an estimate of a fair price for the machines in the first post?

The boxford lathe, as far as I can tell, is from the mid/late 50s.

The Warco mini mill is, I think, from about 2005.

Thank you!

Thank you, I'll do that. Is this the right thread to do that, or should I post somewhere else?

Hi David, no he wasn't on these forums. He might have been a member back in the 70s/80s, I couldn't be sure though - He could have been buying through the newsagents. I've just seen Model Engineer around a fair bit.

Thank you, Howard. Thank you for your reply - much appreciated.

I can see that there's a society in Lincoln which is probably closest, so I'll get in touch with them.

I'd love to take part in the forums more, as they seem so friendly - just wish I had some engineering knowledge to offer!

Hello everyone,

Hello everyone. Sad reason to join, but I wonder if you can advise me.

My father had a workshop which I need to clear following his passing. I wish I had time and space to use his tools myself, but don't have time or space.

There's a lathe and min-mill and a horizontal metal bandsaw. I don't really want to dump them if they could be useful to someone, or would sell. Are these things any use still? Would they sell?

Dad often had a copy of model engineer to read, so I thought I'd ask here. Any advice please?
