Haven't been this excited since puberty. The 1642 I ordered from Toolnut came in today.:D:D!! Not only did Sean offer this at a great price, but they were absolutely great people to deal with. Great company IMO.
I'm going to enclose a seperate room in my basement for turning, but I'm too busy to get on it now, so I set it up in the cabinet shop until I get to it. As you can see, I set it up & it's ready to turn. Probably won't turn anything tonight, but hopefully this weekend.
Thanks to all who aimed me in this direction, I came close to going with less, thank God I can't turn back now.

Roland, that is a beautiful lathe, and you are really going to enjoy it!! A huge CONGRATS!!!!

Haven't been this excited since puberty. But, the big difference is - at puberty you weren't real sure just exactly how to best use that excitement!!;) I think now, you have a pretty good idea!
