Just wanted to give a shout out to Russell Eaton for letting me stop by his man cave and test drive his Jet 1642. Not necessarily a real creeker visit, since we see each other fairly regularly around town, but it's the first time I made it down to his shop, about 40-ish miles from my place. (isn't there an unofficial 50 mile requirement for an official creeker visit?) And no pics, so you'll have to decide whether it really happened or not! If all the stars align, I should be in the market for a lathe upgrade around mid-Feb, and the Jet looks like it will be in my wheelhouse. The test drive confirmed it will do the job for me. I'll also be watching here for pics of Russell's work-in-progress that was chucked up on his Onyx Ox!
