Alternate title: Meeting of the Powermatic Lathe Restorers

Doug Morgan and I have been talking about getting together for quite a while now. And it finally happened! We've both restored Powermatic lathes and posted the processes here on the Creek. I thought we'd have hours to discuss about our lathes. Instead, we only had about 30 minutes of that. The other 5 hours was chatting like we were old friends. Doug was an absolute pleasure to meet. Really good guy.

I always enjoy meeting Creekers, giving a shop tour, and chatting...ok, and having a beer or two (no spills!) Putting faces and personalities with names makes this place feel more and more like home.

Thanks, Doug, for taking time out of your trip to stop by. You are welcome anytime.

Oh, and sorry no pics. My camera is in the shop...I'll have to get one next time.

Oooooh, now I'm waiting for Peter to guilt at me, too....

Actually, I had told Doug that I could arrange for the other locals to be here, but we hadn't decided on the day until Saturday, and the time changed a few times (my schedule, not his) and ended up being 5 pm.

Next time he's in town, I'll give ya'll cry babies as much notice as I can.

I don't remember getting my invite! It's irrelevant that I likely couldn't attend...

It's kinda like going through high school together. Best buddies forever and all of sudden "one" breaks loose and the gang is never the same..

We had such big plans :(

Peter, I just peed myself. That was hilarious. Don't worry, we're all still BFF's. DAMP til the end.

So if/when I restore mine can I come to the next PM restorers club meeting?

WHEN you come by, you're invited regardless of what stage your PM is in, David.
