I'm more excited than a dog with 2 tails

[Andrew Derhammer]

Just got permission from my mom for the money,
just got permission from my dad for the space,
Looks like i'll be getting a Nova 1624-44
I'll have to sell the old grizzly, made only for spindles really 12"xabout40" capacity, three speeds, drum, disk, and flap sander attachments, copy attachment, we may dismantle and hold onto it it's still up in the air

the homemade lathe i'll hold off until summertime

but the important thing:





























I'M GETTING A NEW LATHE!!!!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Congrats Andrew! and ain't life grand!

[Don Carter]

Congratulations Andrew! You are going to love it. Tell Mom and Dad how much you appreciate them. And Andrew.......don't forget to have fun!!

All the best.

[Andrew Derhammer]

It's been on my mind and i've been afraid of being turned down,
the answer from my mother was I'd rather see you spend it on something useful like this instead of crap.

I'll be able to some larger stuff now. The rikon mini just doesn't cut it at times

[Steve Schlumpf]

Congrats Andrew! Looking forward to seeing the photos!

[Andrew Derhammer]

Ok i'll fess up the real reason for wanting a bigger lathe,
I'm a big country music fan
so i might try some cowboy hats:D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats Andrew on the new lathe. Make sure you tell your folks how much you appreciate them and what they have done for you.

[David Drickhamer]

Cool
Life is good. I can see where you need to make 3 hats.

[Leo Van Der Loo]

[Jim Becker]

Indeed a very nice pre-gloat! Congrats!

[Chris Barnett]

Your Mom and Dad are very wise folks.

[Rod Sheridan]

Andrew, for comparison purposes, since I own a cat, sorry a cat owns me.......Just how happy is a dog with two tails?

Congratulations on the lathe, this spinny thing vortex is a slipperry slope, once you're on it, it's like being assimilated by the Borg, resistance is futile.......Rod.

[Joshua Dinerstein]

Congratulations! I know the feeling. Though for me it is more about asking the LOML rather than the parents. But the basic issue is the same. Grats on the new lathe. Be sure to keep the photo's coming!

[Raymond Fries]

Those are really nice machines. I am sure you will enjoy it for many years to come...

[Mike Cutler]

Looks like Mom is a "straight to the point type of Mom". Smart too.;)

Congrats on the upcoming new lathe Andrew. It's a nice one.

Shes an accountant:p

[Allen Neighbors]

Andrew, that's absolutely GREAT!! :D
Good folks, yours. :)
Turn something really nice... finish it to the nth degree... show it to your Mom... and when she says, "Why, Andrew, that is just adorable!" You say, "It's for you, Mom." Then turn your Dad something nice, also.
Good going, young man. It's good to see someone your age doing constructive work. Dog with two tails... that's rich! :D

[Dennis Meek]

Congrats and happy turning!!

[Clara Koss]

congratulations...you will post lots of pics right????:)
