At Last It Has Arrived

[Frank Parker]

After waiting for 11 weeks my Oneway has finally arrived. I got in place today got it all wired up and flipped the switch, It was so smooth and quiet you'd hardly know it's running. I stuck on a piece of Walnut and gave it a go,It's about 12" around and the dark spot on the bottom was a 16d nail that I pulled out, quite the surprise to find that with my gouge.
Here are some pictures starting with just after I took it out of the truck.

Frank,

Suddenly I am coming down with the short man syndrome :(

Wow.... that baby rocks!

[Jim Dunn]

[Andy Hoyt]

Oh man! I been waiting for this for - well - eleven weeks, I guess.



Lemme tell ya Frank, you have no idea how good it feels to have some company in this place, what with all those baby-poop yellowites lurking around and wrecking the fine image this forum has.

That be some fine looking iron - White Iron Rocks!

[Frank Parker]

I can't believe the differance between this lathe and my old one, I can actually hear the radio while it's running. Now I can use my McNaughton bowl saver.
I wanted a lathe that would last for many,many years to come and after I got this one I know I made the right choice. Now I have to reroute my dust collection system to it.

Nice gloat Frank, now if Andy would only paint his baby poop yellow he would fit in.

[Travis Stinson]

Congratulations Frank! That's an awesome machine.:cool:
Now don't be letting Andy goad you into any of his "baby-poop" smack talk. We barely let him escape the last time, he knawed off his tail to get free.:D

[Jim Ketron]

Yea Nothing wrong with Yellow!:D
Nice Lathe Frank!
Cant wait to see some work off that beast!

[Andy Hoyt]

At least it wasn't covered in THAT stuff when I did:D

[Mark Cothren]

Mark me down for an owner of The Yeller Lathe. :D And proud to have it in my shop. you know....maybe Yeller needs a "white" buddy next to it?:rolleyes: :eek:

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

Gee, I'd say that lathe is going to be rock solid....

Nice, very NICE! :)

[Gary Max]

Frank I can't believe that no one said anything about the way you unloaded the monster----heck I remember fighting with my baby-poop machine when it arrived.
Hope you enjoy and be safe.

What....?

Is that some kind of special forklift down in Kentucky?

Geez, up in Canada where I come from that is about a medium size, the kind we let the kids play with.... ;) :p :D

Yep, that would be real help full in unloading stuff for sure!

I look at that nice lathe, and I say, "What is the big deal, big FAT pipe, some gussets, some steel plate and a little milling...... :D

Yep, I could build one of those for sure.....in time ;)

[Andy Hoyt]

Stu - Be nice. It's Canadian

Yea, well in Canada, you'd have to have an extra large lift to help carry around that FULL LOAD OF C... .:p:D

[Doug Jones]

Congrats on the lathe,
a nice coat of some yeller paint and you got a winner.

Seriously, nice score.

Stuwie, green is not your best color.:D :D :D

[Dave Wimmer]

Shoulda left it in that box. It would hold a lot of shavings!

[George Conklin]
