A buddy has been chomping at the bit to buy a lathe. He sent me a note the other day telling me he picked up a used Delta, birch stand with drawers FULL of parts, chucks (Oneway brand), centers, homemade jigs, cases of sandpaper, center finder, etx..... for around $400.
I offered to come visit if I could bring my youngest. He agreed so we went for a little road trip with me packing my chisels and a few pen kits/blanks, and all the accessories needed to make some.
He took to it naturally as you can see in the pic and his cherry slimline came out pretty darn good for a first attempt. It was a BLAST. I told him to come on in here and sign up so I hope he does.
And my youngest enjoyed looking at the horses, chickens, rabbit, turkey, dogs, playing with his 8 month old daughter and visiting with his wife.
All in all a great trip and successful abysseration. His CSUSA and Harbor freight orders are already in. I suggested selling off the rest of his tools to make room for blanks, hollowing rigs, etc...:D
