The Mustard Is Here!

[Dick Parr]

Oh Ya!!!!!!!!!!

We had a BBQ tonight to celebrate the Mustard.

I picked it up this morning at the freight terminal and this afternoon a neighbor came over and helped me put it together. :D Mickey helped me get everything out of the truck and into the shop while we were waiting for him, except for the power head and the bed. Another friend came over just in time to help us turn it upright after installing the legs.

This is not a one person job, that is for sure.

I am really happy with the bed extension and the tool rest extension. Both are solid.:)

I know I am going to love turning on this lathe. More tomorrow after I do some turning on this monster. To tired to turn tonight.:(

Thanks everyone.:D

I fired up the PM today and have a couple of maple blanks soaking in the DNA. There is a small one that is 11" x 6" and this large one is 16" x 4".

This lathe is awesome and I love it. I am very happy with the upgrade and the extra's that came with it.

Will be turning again tomorrow. :rolleyes:

Enjoy it Dick. I know you'll put it to good use.
