Twister Incoming

[Patrick Doody]

Oh man So I've got the following incoming(extremely generous B-Day gift):

Delta 46-460
bed extension
stand with extensions
Nova Chuck
micro turning tools

Looks like I'll have to go get myself a sharpening system and some turning tools now. Can't Wait. I expect to see a few "you suck"s
:D

Congratz, that seems to be "THE" new mini lathe that everyone wants.

[Gary Chester]

You got some new stuff!!!:D Woo Hoo!!!

Now you get to go buy more stuff to go with stuff you just got!!!:D

Vortex :eek::eek::eek:

Patrick, you are going to LOVE that lathe!! You may find a need for the micro tools, but you also need to get some larger tools, a good bowl gouge, etc. and the sharpening system - all set up and ready for when that lathe gets here!! No down time!!

Oh.....I can't say you suck, 'cause I have one, too!!;)


LONG LIVE DELTA FORCE!!!!!

good thinking. I should probably go down to woodcraft tomorrow (turning on a friend's lathe tonight) and purchase the rest of the loot. time to rearrange the shop again. now I can afford to buy some extra goodies!!!!

I purchased a few micro tools, but didn't like them much. Too much vibration. Of course, if I put a micro tool in a large heavy handle, they work great! You're gunna love that machine - I've got one as well!

[John Keeton]

On the issue of the micro tools, I got the same deal when I purchased the Delta. I already owned a set of BB micro tools, so I sold the Delta set. But, I have used only the small skew in the micro set. The others haven't been touched! Might be different if I did pens or pendants, as I can see where they would be a bit more appropriate.

Congrats on all your birthday presents! Looking forward to the photos when the lathe arrives!

Our oldest son and family live in North St. Paul - I stop in at the Rockler in Maplewood when we visit - is there a Woodcraft close by?

[Patrick Doody]

Yup there's a Woodcraft in Bloomington, kinda by the Mall of America. Just learned of it's existence myself recently. I've been to that Rockler many times.
