"Beauty" is Home

[Christopher K. Hartley]

She arrived yesterday, right in the middle of a training session I am doing. Fortunately, My partner took the session for a few hours so I could take delivery and unpack her. Then I had to go back. Wont get to see her now until Thursday.

I unpacked the box:

Why don't you bring the trainees to your house and train them how to put a lathe together?
Congrats! It looks like art in the making.

[Frank Kobilsek]

Chris

I hate to be the worry wart but be careful with that back of your's. Enthusiam leads to fits of youthfulness which our bodies can not always handle.

Congrats, While I long for a Mustard machine the a younger brother to Beauty might be even better.

[TYLER WOOD]

Whew what a long time coming! Congrats and as stated before.... GET ER DIRTY!!! I am envious of that machine. She is nice! What's with the wheels though? Will that not make the machine vibrate a little?

[Bill Wyko]

MERRY X-MAS Chris! That thing sure lives up to it's name. "American Beauty" I'm anxious to see some lumber on her. Now I have to figure out how to get one past the LOML. (I think she'd leave me over a purchase like that......and I'd miss her for sure:D )

[Don Orr]

Wow Chris, that'll git-er-dun! Awesome looking machine. Too bad you can't play with your new toy yet:( . Probably the last time it will be that clean:D . Come on thursday:eek: .

[Tom Sherman]

Chris that is one serious Beauty. Looks like she is just waiting with baited breath to be caressed by your quivering fingers, only two days to go.

[Bill Wyko]

I'm willing to bet you don't sleep the next 2 nights just thinking of all the different pieces you're gonna be making. Have you turned it on yet? I bet it has the sweetest hum to it.:)

Sorry to disappoint you Chris.

But I skipped my younger years, and went straight to senility.

Didn't get to pass Go and collect $20o either. Grrrrr

[Karl Laustrup]

Hurry up and get spinning on that "Beauty" Chris.

I need some feedback, as that could be what I'm looking for, especially seeing as how it's made almost in my back yard. Well, maybe 60 miles.

I'm sure I could find a way to pick one up at the factory and save some shipping charges.
