I picked up the mini-lathe shown in the pics this past saturday from Ron McNeil. I was happy to get it, but was a little sad that Ron was scaling back his woodworking. Chris Haney was there buying Ron's Table saw and band saw. I must say, Ron keeps his tools in top-notch condition. In addition to the lathe, stand and extension bed, Ron threw in his Sorby gouges, some pen-making tools, and some exotic wood pen blanks. It was great to meet people who are as genuine in person as they seem to be on the Creek!

Doug,

Congrats on the lathe. It always is sad to buy tools from someone you know loved them. I got some of my tools from my grandpa because he could no longer woodwork. It was a hard day, yet he was happy to know they would be used, not sold.

Man, nice tools to pick up. Maybe someday I will get one of those mini lathes!
