    Blasphemy! Probably one of the prettiest cars ever made in my opinion. I've had a rager for one of those since Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

    Not saying they are not beautiful cars, just that I don't like cars. I have yet to own a car in almost 24 years of driving. Trucks are practical, cars are well, not.

    So are you going through it for someone, or putting it into service for yourself?

    If Paul Bunyan owned a lathe... Ok, here is what we need you to do. Get it set up, find the largest log you can find, mount it and shoot a video so we can see this thing in action.

    Have not decided. First step was to keep it from the scrap pile and get it out of NJ.

    I would love to set this thing up, it needs a through cosmetic resto though. It could be cleaned and ran ugly though. I may find someone that wants me to rebuild it for them. For now, I kept 8k pounds out of the scrap yard.

    I bet you dress like that last guy when you use your tools. Wearing a tie is always a good idea around rotating machinery. it helps pull you in for a closer inspection. I bet those are steel toed wingtips.

    I say set it up, invite a local turning group over and demo making a pen, just to mess with them.

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...

    Nice to see correct attire for wood turning. I wear the same when in the wood shoppe.

    That's what I wear. I wear a lab coat so I don't get dirty. I leave it untied though cause it gets to hot.

    A big lathe is all I can think of.

    If you look at almost every old picture of a machine shop or millwork shop, almost everyone was in a shirt and tie. Tie tucked in shirt and an apron on, plus a nice hat.
