Now for a little Mustard Mayhem!

A Suhweeeet machine! Unloading wasn't too bad with a little help.

Was an awesome day. Got her set up and sold the Nova all in the same afternoon! Can't beat that.

From another recently new Mustardite: Congratulations!:) Mine's getting a good workout; I turned 9 projects on it this weekend and I can definitely tell you that jobs take less time with it than on other lathes I've had. A VFD sure beats moving a belt between pulleys!:D

Ah yes... and for the sake of unity in the creek and amongst the creek members (particularly Andy and Adam), I took it upon myself to do a little... erm... painting!! :D

Jonathon,

Somehow, that just feels wrong. Does look good, though.

I was really impressed with the fit and finish, really great quality. As my older/cheaper machines get replaced, we might be seeing more mustard in the shop....

Painting??? - a little photo shop editing perhaps Jonathan, or did you really convert that to mayo?
Nice lathe Jonathan!

Stop it, please! You guys are all making me ill, showing off your new mustard, and mayo toys!:mad: Here I am stuck with my Rikon mini, and can only dream about what it might grow up to be!:confused:

Congrats on a fine lathe!

If I could afford it, that's the way I would go, but I'm probably going to be limited to a Nova 16-24 or a Jet 16-24 down the road (hopefully this year!).

That would be the tenth commandment ;) Just so long as you don't break the eighth (though shall not steal) :eek: :D

Another one is sucked a little deeper into the vortex. Congrats Adam.

Jonathon,

Maybe its 9th and 10th, 'neighbors goods' & 'neighbors wife' after all she probably had a vote in this purchase. That said my generous and lovely wife is very supportive of the vortex. The only time she was upset with my spending money on turning was the trip to the Emergency Room.

Adam is a lucky man on both counts.

Great gloat Adam!
Wish we had better access to these machines in Canada.

You guys buying all this mustard at the local Mom and Pop, or do the bigger chains offer a better price?

I am green with envy. Someday I hope to have one of those in my shop. 2 more years of Catholic High School, 4 years of college (maybe 5???), I don't know what I'm going to do with all that money when I'm done paying all of those school bills ------ AH!!! I'll get some Mustard!!!! 6-7 more years.


Happy Turning,
Dan Heine
