Yet another new lathe gloat !!

[Pat Doble]

Figured I better join the party and get the proof in now that the Mustard has been in the shop for a couple of weeks.

Glad I didn't have to get it into a basement like Paul - though I did have to handle everything twice - to get it into the back of the pickup at work and then into the shop. LOML was a trooper though and helped me carry the bed from the truck into the shop. (Though I really wish she would have been out there when I put the headstock on - would have been nice to have someone holding the locking lever in the open position as I tried to wrestle it onto the bed :eek:).

Well here she is with piece #2 (a craigslist scored 8/4 walnut offcut) chucked up. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take pictures of the platter this weekend.

Geez, to think that 15 months ago I was oblivious to the vortex (and much richer:))

Congrats Pat. I'm sure you gonna love it. I took the motor off my headstock so it was a easier to manage.

Can't wait to see what that piece looks like when you are done.

And don't forget to tell her that if you are in the shop she'll know exactly where you are too.
