I was in Alabama this weekend for a family reunion and was talking to my brother-in -law about woodworking. He asked me if I would like to have a Lathe, well after I caught my breath I blurted out "YES". He goes on to tell me about the lathe he bought from a neighbor who was moving. It is an older Craftsman multi-speed 12" with duplicator. I got it for $125 which is what he paid for it. He only used it once. The tools that came with it look new except for one of the gouges that someone tried to sharpen.

Good one Bill, I used one for 25 years with the copy crafter to make spindles.

Enjoy,
