Maybe not a dream

[Mike Golka]

Well judging by the response to my earlier post there are plenty of good dreamers here.:D I too dream of a machine beyond my means:rolleyes: but just placed an order for a Oneway 1640 2Hp. It will be a far cry from the "Craptex" (did I say that out loud?) that I'm currently using. It did serve to get me consumed by the vortex:eek:. Hope to have the new machine before Christmas. There goes the bonus money!!:o

[Don Carter]

Mike:
Congratulations! I was going to wish you a Merry Christmas, but I guess that goes without saying. Can't wait to see what comes off that thing!
I'll say it anyway, Merry Christmas!

All the best.

Don

Oh WOW Mike, let me be the first one to tell you "YOU SUCK" :eek: :D :D
That is going to be so sweet to turn on, yes congratulations, well deserved :) :)

[Steve Schlumpf]

WOW - now that is a gloat! I have often checked out the very same lathe - in catalogs of course - but always felt it would be a great choice! Are you going to get the bed extension for outboard turning? Looking forward to seeing photos of it once you get it set up!

Again - congrats and Merry Christmas!!!

[Jim Becker]

Mike, that's a very nice machine...and the available outboard bed will add capacity later when you are ready to go large. You'll especially appreciate how SMOOTH and quiet this level of machine runs. Congratulations on your order!

[Keith Burns]

I can assure you that you will not regret your decission. Congrats !

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats on a great gloat. You will never regret it.

[Alan Trout]

Mike, Nice one. I hope you get it before Christmas. Now go and enjoy.

[John Terefenko]

All I can say is WOW. I will continue to dream but for now we will have to rely on you to give us reports and photos. :)

[Bill Bolen]

Congrats! I guess dreams still do come true! Guess I should hold onto my dream, might just get it before it is too late...Bill..

[Jack Mincey]

Mike,
I hope that you love it as much as I do mine. It is all the lathe I will ever need. If you can swing the outboard side it is wonderfull for bowl turning. Sounds like you are going to have a great Christmas. Have some help to move it. They come with a strong pallet attached, so a pallet jack would be very handy.
Enjoy,
Jack

[Skip Spaulding]

Mike, Glad your dream came true! Guess your Christmas will be "Very Merry"! Enjoy:D

[George Guadiane]

Congratulations!

[Jim Kountz]

You suck, you suck, I dont like you at all...............LOL Hey man way to go, I know you will love it!

[Randy Degen]

Mike You will love this machine I have had mine for about a year it is a fantastic lathe. Randy :)

[Martin Shupe]

Congratulations, Mike, I've been wanting one of those. Too bad I don't get a bonus. Maybe someday...(sigh)

[Nathan Hawkes]

Well Mike, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I hate you now.:D Can't you see I'm green with envy.....pad pun. Congratulations! I'm sure you won't be diasappointed.
