Now THIS is some old ARN!!!

Just in case you want to turn a Brobdingnagian pen (http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=27176893&cat=&lpid=&search=lathe&ad_cid=47)....

Needless to say, I don't think this is one that you'll just put under the workbench when finished.

That should handle everything that I turn. Years ago when I was looking for a mini-metal lathe, a machinist friend of mine tried to convince me to look at larger lathes saying that is was "just as easy to turn a large wheel as a small one." Perhaps this was what he had in mind.
