I've finally named my lathe. What's your's named

[Bill Wyko]

Her new name is.....DIZZY:D After all she's always spinning round and round. What's everyone elses names?

[Brian Myers]

POS, hows that for originality?:rolleyes:

[Phillip H Smith]

What I usually call my lathe is not printable for a public format. For that matter...it's a name I use with many of my other tools. :eek:

And....remarkably the same name I used for both of my son's until they were grown-up and got some brains!

I think my names for the tools has something to do with my skills...or lack thereof. But...I'm still not willing to back down on the kids' names.:rolleyes:

[Jeff Moffett]

I thought mine was going to be a girl named Wendy, but I ended up with a boy named Bubba.

[Jim Becker]

Stubbalina, of course...

[Lee DeRaud]

Beavis.

(It makes sense if you read my sig.)

[Frank Kobilsek]

Joe 'Jet' - I bought my 1642 at a trade show (IWF), the floor demo model, all week Joe Getty from Georgia was demo-ing on. He is a machinery dealer/rep that is a semi-pro turner and quite a character. My work creates an opportunity to run into him about once a year.

All my tools have the same first name, Al.

My sweetiepie is Janine.

And yes, there is a history.

[Bob Hallowell]

Methusila.. It's OLD.. easily twice my age..

[Ryan Cathey]

I don't have a lathe but my car's named Angie (from the Rolling Stones song)

[Jude Kingery]

Some of your names are very entertaining! Mine aren't near as interesting. The bench lathe is always just referred to as "Dad's Little Lathe." (belonged to my Dad and I ended up with it after a brother had it for years and gave it to me). The other lathe a good friend in Vermont named it - he called it the BGM. Big Green Machine. Pretty apt, I'd say! Jude

[Randy Johnson]

In my entire life I've only given a name to one inanimate object.
My pickup truck is ALWAYS refered to as The Burgundy Lemon.
That is not to say that I don't call various tools names from time to time.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

"Beauty" what else can I say?:D

[Rich Chilcot]

Mine is Sonofa, which is usually what is said in any turning session.

[Bruce Page]

All my tools have the same first name, Al.
But for short, is just use the initial, A.

Hence,
A table saw
A jointer
A band saw

The list goes on and on.
Stranger that strange! Those are the same names that I’ve been using….

You turners are a strange bunch. :eek: :D :eek:

[Brian Myers]

And....remarkably the same name I used for both of my son's until they were grown-up and got some brains!..............But...I'm still not willing to back down on the kids' names.:rolleyes:

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D This post just made my day. Thanks Phillip

[Jim Stoppleworth]

Mustard .............. to go with Relish now the permanent Beall station.

Jim

[Tom Sherman]

Mine is sometimes referred to CC short for Cash Cow, we all know there is no end to the expenditures associated with spinning wood.

[Brian Brown]

I named my lathe "Leaky". because from the day I bought it my wallet has had an enormous leak.

Brian

[Richard Madison]

Like Ken and George--

The - - - (lathe, table saw, sorry p.o.s., bandsaw, etc.).

[Jim Underwood]

[Rob Leslie]

Her new name is.....DIZZY:D After all she's always spinning round and round. What's everyone elses names?

[Curt Fuller]

You got your genus and species....lathicus mustardius, lathicus onewayandonlyonewayius, my personal favorite, lathicus oliversupremius. But when you start blessing your spinner with a name, talking to a hunk of iron like it's your sweetie or an old drinking buddy, it might be time to check the ventilation in the shop.

Mine, Ollie of course.
