Most of the work is in the video itself. I had the Clausing up on Ebay. It sold but the buyer didn't pay, so I took it as a sign that maybe I should keep it. Then a few weeks later, while trying to make room, I suddenly put the South Bend 9A up on Craigslist. It sold the next day for a grand. Pretty fair price, I think. It was clapped out in some respects, but very nice in others. Plus it was so well-tooled.
Since then I've doubled down on the Clausing, getting the collet closer to work, tightening up the gibs.
