Small Gloat

[Dick Latshaw]

Went for a drive last weekend and this guy followed me home. Think I will keep him.:D

71856

He had been sitting in a guy's shop for several years and had never turned any wood. The tool rest was still sealed in bubble wrap and the live center and drive spur were still in their packages.

$1400 delivered and set up (well, put together). The guy, who was REALLY STRONG, lifted the bed and the head stock out of his pickup by himself.:eek: Didn't want any help.

[Dennis Peacock]

WOW!!!! Nice lathe there Dick!!!!! Congrats on what followed you home. ;)

[Rich Souchek]

THAT IS A REAL DEFINITE " YOU SUCK!!!" :D :D
CONGRADULATIONS.

[Jim Becker]

Oh, my...that's beyond a gloat...it was a steal! :D

[Harvey M. Taylor]

Dont be surprised if the sheriff comes a'knocking on your door with an arrest warrant for grand theft lathe.Got one myself , love it, you will too. Max

[Steve Schlumpf]

Dick - congrats on your new lathe!!! Looking forward to seeing what you turn off of her!

Strong? The guy must have been a beast to lift what he did! Hey - at least you didn't have to!

Have fun - post soon!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Dick......If the cops get wind of this you'll be in jail for stealing that at that price! I just bought a new one.......At a much larger price! Congrats!

amazing!:D

[Dick Latshaw]

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. I think I will enjoy it. Now I have to move some things around to make space for it, and put the engine hoist back together.

By the way, I found the lathe on the local Craig's List, in amongst the Craftsman radial arm saws and the Ryobi cordless drills. Pays to keep an eye on that list sometimes.

[Pete Jordan]

Welcome and congratulations!

It sure is purdy!

That's quite a gloat Dick, seems that Mustard is all the rage this fall.
