Well, after lucking into Dennis P.'s ad last week, I have a new lathe. I trucked up to Dennis' place on Friday night.
I wasn't going to upgrade to a "real" lathe for another several months yet, but when I saw Dennis' ad here at SMC, my clicking finger started to itch. I know a great deal with I see it. It doesn't hurt that I already have a heck'ova Jet lineup in my little shop already. :)
Here's my 'old' one. (I've passed it on to another budding woodworker friend of mine who has already put it into service.) It ain't pretty, but it works! (Paid $37 at a local auction)

And here's the new one, in its new home. I'll be making some changes to the shelving and wall behind it before things really settle in.

Thanks again to Dennis Peacock for making me such great deal on this one. I can't wait to fire 'er up!
