Jonathon, excellent!!!!!
I've thought about variable drive for my older Nova 3000 (i.e. non-DVR), but the danged upgrade costs more than what I paid for the lathe new! - go figure. Plus, gotten used to the changes - so no big deal. Might put variable speed on the big lathe I build after I retire. Put variable speed on my Jet Midi, but it only cost less than $100.

For what it's worth, I love having variable speed. You don't think it's a big deal until you have it and then you learn how useful and cool it really is.

Retire?

@Sprung said I was required to post pics of my shop so... @Jasonparadis is using my office as his storage unit at the moment and put his created paddles in front of my drum sander. I am going to claim him as a dependent this year...

Wow, that is a lot of empty floor. Don't even have that much in the entire house. Where is the Jelly-us button?

 

[Sprung]

Don - now that is a real nice shop space! Lots of space to spread everything out too. I think any of us would be jealous of having that much floor space! I really like the different rooms/zones - that is something I would really love to have.

When they are assembled and finished they don't stay in the shop.

Really nice shop Don. I see the mini-fridge and the freezer in there, nice convenience. I see miscellaneous stuff stacked in the corner and under work benches etc. That must be a craftsmen's genetic defect thing we all do. We look at something and think 'I should toss this thing...but it might be useful sometime. I'll save it for now. But where to put it? Ah, I'll just stick it here for now.' And there it will sit until we're looking for something else and we'll move stuff around and find that particular thing and think 'Hey, cool, here's that thing I saved. I haven't seen this in years. Really should toss it...but I might need it. I'll just set it over here for now....'.

My buddy with the full shop that I mooch off of is building a wooden ship like that. I think his is the USS Constitution. Many many tiny parts.

My shop right now. I'm at firearms instructor in-service now. We just put new red dot sights and lights on our pistols. We are shooting and getting used to everything before the rest of the departments in-service. That way we can adjust everything and help them. Always a good time when you can shoot 500 rounds of someone else's ammo. Habe a full day of shooting tomorrow

I take it the lights are out in your workshop…. Firearms training sounds like a blast! Chuck

Lights in a shop? What's that? I have to work in the daylight? It is definitely fun
