I think I need help...

[Russell Eaton]

I have a addiction. NEW LATHES:rolleyes:. OK I bought a Delta today. I am going to sell my Jet 1236 tomorrow, and so I bought this today. I refuse to show it clean but here are pictures to show it happened. Also 2 Buckeye Burl pens with Turquoise inlay. Enjoy and thanks for the advise. PS, I am liking the Delta, I really like the slower speed on the fastest setting. It is 350rpm's slower than my 1014vs Jet. Thanks for looking. Russell

Duuuude, you got it bad! But, that's a good thing!

[Roland Martin]

Great lathe and great pens.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Yep you got it for sure. Congrats on your lathe and those are some nice looking pens.

A lathe addiction is NOT a bad thing. Just ask me I have 5 in the shop and 1 on loan,so I know it's not a bad thing,not a bad thing,not a bad thing,
Nice lathe, your going to love it and nice pens also.

Congrats on the new lathe! A couple of nice looking pens off of a nice looking new machine... That's pretty hard to beat.

[John Keeton]

Welcome to Delta Force!! Very nice pens, BTW. And, keep in mind - that Delta will turn all sorts of things in addition to pens.

[Cathy Schaewe]

You will love the Delta - congrats!

[Michael James]

Congratulations on the lathe....for some reason, I really like that one! Nice pens too.

[gary Zimmel]

A new lathe and you've already taken it for a test drive... Congrats Russell

[Lupe Duncan]

[Jon Prouty]

If you think you need help, you're in the wrong place. :) I think we're all addicted and afflicted.

Congrats on the Delta and nice pens! Where did you get your aftermarket tool rest from? I really like the round bar rest.

Thanks!
Jon

Beautiful pens Russ:D!! I think pens are the only thing that look ok with a gloss finish...sometimes;). You'll pay for that lathe in no time!!:cool:

[Jon McElwain]

Congrats on the lathe! How do you like the round tool rest? I always thought it was too tough to get the tool supported close enough to the work piece. Lovely pens too!

[Russell Eaton]

Hey Jim, that lathe was paid for with pen sales. I could have got a pair of them. I like the round tool rest better than the factory one. For me it is just a smoother surface. It has a longer rest for larger projects . Thanks for all the nice posts. Russell
