Man, all of you drive a hard bargain!!!! You about twisted my arm out of socket about buying the new lathe so I felt I must conform or I might be ostracized from the forum. :eek: I know you thought I would never make the decision but I did it.:D What a deal! $325 to my door and it should be here the middle of next week!

Tim...........I have the Jet VS Mini..........It's a great little lathe! I'm going to buy a bigger one this fall.....but it sure has let this old guy learn a lot and did it without too much complaining!
CONGRATS!
Nobody would harass you too much. All of us live on a budget especially turners....We understand. But....the #2 morse tapers on this will let you use most of the attachments...on bigger lathes in the future! I think you bought a good lathe...

Congrats Tim. That is a nice little lathe. Ditto what Ken said about the budgets. I will say this though turning sure does stretch it though. Welcome to the vortex of turning.

Thanks and thanks for the input. I already have the pen blanks cut, drilled and ready to go!
Also, congrats on your new purchase too.:D

I don't mean to harass you TOO much....buuuut.
.....or do I work a side job to come up with the $$ to buy the Jet?
Are you saying that you worked a side job for 3 hours and 36 minutes?:D
Just kidding:rolleyes: ...Congratulations on your decision. You'll prolly be happier for it.:)

You're pretty slick--putting that together. Actually, this means I will have to do a few more tax returns during tax season to pay for it. ;) I actually already have the side job...

Tim.....Maybe you can give John "Hopalong" Hart some tax advice.....If John owns a former Amish farm....and buys a couple of draft horse colts...can he write off the time it takes to train the horses to plow the land .....spread the horse apples and the feed....grain etc....as a business expense?:eek: :rolleyes: :D

I'm sure the IRS won't catch it... John, let me know how that works for you...:eek: But I will need to know what the names and social security numbers of these dependants are?
