Bombarde16 424 Report post Posted February 3 Not sure if the caption should read, "I'm drinking milk," or "Luke, I am your father." Either way, my new lathe arrived yesterday. Got it downstairs and roughly assembled. It (along with the rest of the new additions) awaits the arrival of a new electrical panel. As it turns out, I'm neck deep in a bathroom remodel at the moment, so I don't have time to play with the new toys just yet anyway. For the time being, it's just a cool and slightly surreal sight to see the two lathes side by side. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chet 3,061 Report post Posted February 4 That certainly is an "UP" grade. That should serve you very well. I think you need a sign on the wall over each one, "Senior" and "Junior". What are the other new additions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bombarde16 424 Report post Posted March 9 The shop is still barely functional but I got an offer of some freshly cut holly logs, so I dropped everything and gave "junior" its official tryout turning logs into blanks. Spins a treat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wdwerker 7,123 Report post Posted March 9 JohnDi has questions about Holly. If you have any info to share I am sure he would appreciate it. His post is under "Storm damage Holly" I'm glad " Junior " is working out for you. How's the bathroom renovation coming along ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely on hold until the sun comes back. The last thing I want to do is set up a wet saw when it's 36 degrees outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
