the chuck of a Drummond M-Type lathe with a dead center (pointy bit of steel) in it, supporting a reamer which is inserted into the tailstock. Everything is greasy and covered in metal filings, and there are an assortment of spanners on the crossbed

Getting some quality time with the #lathe today. After nearly a century of use and abuse the Morse taper on the tailstock quill is only vaguely Morse taper shaped, so I'm gingerly reaming it out. Didn't have a dead center for the chuck, so first I had to turn one.
