Alfred Mellows worked on this project—a functioning 1/6 scale Holbrook Model C lathe—for many years. Initially, it was not going to be a working model, but at the prodding of workmates, Alfred decided to make the tiny lathe work. This became a lifetime endeavor, spending time whenever he could to perfect the machine’s features over the years. After retirement, Mr. Mellows converted his garage into a workshop with the necessary tools to complete this ambitious project. He finished his work on the lathe only months before passing in 2003.
