New lathe has arrived

[Gordon Achterhof]

The mustard monster has finally made an apperance. Should have arrived last thursday but such are the fortunes of life. Got it all assembled and placed where I wanted it in about 2 hours. Did I say that it is one heavy monster. The trucking company sent it on a lift gate truck but the lift gate failed to work. Opened the box in the truck and carried every piece in the shop one at a time. My neighbor and I are going to very sore tomorrow. Yes it is heavy.

Found that the face plate threads were bad and when the factory assembled it they messed up the spindle threads. WMH Tool Group has very good customer service. New parts are already on the way. I can practice spindle turning while I wait. Fun and games.

Cheers
Gordon

[Mark Cothren]

Congrats Gordon! Sorry to hear about your "mess ups" with the lathe - but glad you got new parts on the way!!!

Lets see some pictures!

[John Hart]

I'm pretty jealous of your invisible yellow monster Gordon. :p Congratulations!!

[Andy Hoyt]

Come to think of it. No pics = no damage to the spindle. What's to worry?

Would'ja like some white paint?:D

[Mark Cothren]

What's that make the score now... something like Mustard - 9,
Mayo - 2???

GO YELLAR!!!!

[Travis Stinson]

Congrats Gordon, hope you get the spindle fixed up in a flash.
Mark, should we take a true head count?:D

[Cecil Arnold]

Congrats Gordon, and yes we should make a count, but mustard will win hands down.

[Andy Hoyt]

I have no doubt that you guys will win - 47 to 2 or thereabouts.

A word just popped into my head - dijonaisse. Mustard is mustard until you make it "just so".:rolleyes:

And we all know what mustard gas is like!:D

Gordon,

Thank goodness you got that posted before the guy in the pink thong showed up :eek:

[Jim Dunn]

Great wafer board! ?

Andy you beat me to it. If it hadn't been for the "wafer board" I'd have posted something about the clean shop or the wood floor;)

Nice looking lathe Gordon. You could always paint it GREY. Very nice looking shop and set up.
