Popular Post Bombarde16 570 Posted February 3, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chet 4886 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wdwerker 7646 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 And " Senior " should be over your original lathe ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bombarde16 570 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wdwerker 7646 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 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 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
