My wife said go for it so I took that "Hook line and sinker". Here is what I came home with.I was like a kid in a candy store. She went with me and wanted to sit in the truck and I told her to grab a book and relax for a while. She finally came in to look for me after about a hour and a half later.

Thanks to everyone here. Without the support and advise of the creek I would probally be at square one right now. But right now I'm on cloud 9. Now if I can just get to making some nice shavings out there. Hopefully I will get to post some good turning pics soon.

Donny,

Wow, Christmas in April for sure!!

I remember a similar box a few years ago when Rockler had that ridiculous sale on the 2hp version. Gotta love those wives!

Have fun!
