Well, I finally broke down and bought some turning stuff.
Last Sunday, I was in WC in STL and they told me that WC's Oct sale included on Nova 1624 for $850 v $1200 reg price.
I told them to put my name on one.
Friday, I was back in there and they asked if I wanted my lathe. I said ok.
I bought a couple extra things as well.....
here are the pics.
