Couldn't take it anymore

[John Lock]

Alright, after seeing all the wonderful work on this board and winning 2 items in the St. Jude auction, I couldn't stand it anymore! I went to Woodcraft Saturday morning (10% off sale) with the intent to buy the Rikon mini. But after seeing the Jet VS and with the sale, I just couldn't resist and walked out with a brand new Jet 1014 VS mini-lathe. First bonker was promptly stolen by my daughter and used to abuse her dear old Dad.

Sorry, no pics until I can get the digital camera unpacked (just moved)

[Mark Pruitt]

Way to go John! Tell your daughter to sell that bonker--she's going to need a way to find food clothing and shelter now that her dad is in the Abyss!:D :D :D

Oh, and......a man who has yet to unpack his digital camera from a move, but who gets the lathe out of the box and gets to work on it.....you definitely have your priorities in order!:D :D

[Steve Schlumpf]

Congrats on jumping into the abyss John! You are going to have a great time! Find the camera and start posting soon!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

John...........Welcome to the Abyss! It's an addiction I'll tell you! You are now on you way to being a spin crack addict!

Enjoy!

[John Hart]

Congratulations John!! The Vortex just swallowed another one. (I think I heard a burp!):)

Now get that camera unpacked and take some pics of a dirty lathe.;) :)
