Picked up a PSI variable speed 10" lathe today for $75 (sneaker gloat). Came with a couple faceplates and a bed extension.

Barely had it set on the bench before my 14 y/o got ahold of it and won't let go! Have to come up with a reason to ground her so I can have some turning time!

Get a comfortable chair, a thermos of coffee and enjoy the show. Plenty of time for you to play later!

Yeah, I figure she has to go to school sometime! I just don't want her getting better than me, LOL!

Only one thing to do. Let her keep her lathe and go shopping for one of your own.

I think Rodney has the right idea! Looks like it will be broke in in no time.

Biff that is a wonderful picture. Enjoy while you can. Oh yea PSI sells a nice 12" VS lathe that could be for you.

Biff,
There is nothing better than to share a hobby with one of your own kids. It teaches you as much as it does them. Well Done, on all accounts.

I struggle to get my sons on a lathe. Count your blessings, and go look for another lathe.

Ha, that shirt pretty much sums up her attitude! Actually, she is a very sweet and generous girl. She was bummed she didn't get wood shop this trimester in school so this will help her get her "fix".
