Congratulations, Roger. That looks beautiful. I am sure if there's even an iota of a discrepancy from the specs, you will find it, report, and have it fixed. But I doubt you'll find anything. Have fun, and be safe.

Roger that does look like a beast! Have you ordered some green Grizzly paint for it yet? :D
Congrats Roger. Nice looking machine.
Thanks Rich! :)
Attachment 378952 just tryin' it out! :D
What a mess! I'm calling the shop police.
Dayum! I'm going to call the shop police due to using a massive rig to turn that tiny piece! ;)
:D:D Jeramie, that is the first piece to be turned on it, so although I started it out a bit unbalanced, I just thought I had better make sure everything was dialed in a bit before putting a huge piece of wood on that beast. Even at that, this bowl blank started out at about 13 + inches diameter and about 10 inches thick...with more wood on one side than the other and weighed about 35 or so pounds.
Congratulations on the new lathe, Roger! Looking forward to your updates!
