Gotta' say that I'm amazed I can even stand it!!!!
Ordered a new lathe last week (Nova DVR 2024), and am waiting for delivery and setup through local Woodcraft (hate to lift that stuff myself). Also waiting for the contractor to start the shop enlargement project I commissioned (moving a wall out three feet).
In the meantime, I figure that I can still work on my Rikon old faithful lathe; however, went to turn it on on Friday, and it didn't work. Then the variable speed board started smoking (and mine is a no smoking shop!!!). Well, won't get a new board till Monday, and the new lathe isn't here yet.
Had to revert to flat work this weekend. I am SOOOOOOOOO bummed! Never thought I'd miss it this much.
