I Went and Did It

[Andrew Kertesz]

I know...if there are no pictures it didn't happen. I pulled the trigger yesterday on the Nova 1624-44, also got the handwheel, SuperNova 2, Jumbo Cole jaws, and a new Steb center. The handwheel and steb center are BO from Woodcraft. Teknatool is having a sale on their lathes actually starting in Novemebr but my local WC did a pre-sale and gave me a 20% discount on all accessories. The chuck is on sale at $129.99 w/o insert.

Drum roll......

Congratulations Andrew. Our club here in Southern Ohio has the same model. We like it a lot. We have the same chuck, too.

[Jim C Bradley]

Wow! It is amazing what some magenta (???) and gray can do for the decor of a woodworker's shop.

Enjoy it double...Once for you and once for me.

[Leo Van Der Loo]

You are all set now, so let's see the products ;-))))), congratulations :-))

[Paul Douglass]

I think you will like it. Here is your most important first modification. Put some tape over the top of the legs at the headstock end. Twice I dropped small items when I was working on the lathe and they went right into the lathe leg. Had to remove the leg to get them out! The next and more expensive one is get a better tool rest. I did not like the tool rest that comes with the lathe.

[Scott Lux]

Sooooo jealous.

[John Keeton]

YES!!!!! Great setup! Looking forward to all those nice turnings that you will be posting!

[bob svoboda]

All right! Now get a pile of shavings to stand on!

[Scott Hackler]

Congrats. I use the same lathe and love it. Dont forget the set screw of the SuperNova2 chuck or when you put teh lathe in reverse it can spin off the lathe in approximately 2 seconds quicker than you can identify that "sound"! (dont ask how I know this!)

Now get er going and make a mess!

[charlie knighton]

[Rob Cunningham]

[Allen Neighbors]

AAAAHHH! Spankin' new lathe, standin' in a few shavings and sawdust... Only one thing better than that... and that's standin' in a lot of shavings, and having every thing else in your shop covered up with blanks and turnings!!
Great lathe, so I hear. Congratulations!! And welcome to that eternal vortex!! :D
