New-to-me lathe

[stephen45710]

I was excited to bring this lathe and supplies home today. A good friend enjoyed this lathe for many years but hadn’t turned for years. $700 for everything pictured and an agreement to let him come to my shop to turn if he ever gets the itch.

A generous member of the local woodturners club has agreed to help me sort through what I have and give me lessons.

I haven’t been this excited in a while.

Miracle deal.

Wowzer that’s a sweet haul. The accessories alone are worth more than $700. Nice that it also includes an BBC extension.

Yeah, I was eyeballing that extension and thinking it was likely worth the price alone

Exceptional! Now you need more wood! Chuck

Congratulations! That's a heck of a deal. My first lathe was nowhere near as nice and it didn't come with anything.

Very nice lathe...welcome to the Vortex (or Rabbit Hole, depending on your perspective!!)

Sa—-weet!
Will be looking for your pics of projects. When you tire of the northern woods, can hook you up with Mesquite.
