What's in the mail?

I never did get any acknowledgement from them other than a thank you for trusting them letter. In my account online there is my info showing its been ordered but that's all. So I sent customer support an email asking for any updates. They responding and said it's on backorder and wont receive it at the warehouse until after September 28, 2021 :shok: :cry2: I'll look elsewhere
Last time I talked to them they said mid February, maybe I better give them a call again. I dont mind waiting a bit but not till September, that's ridiculous.
 
Barry, I don't remember what lathe you were looking at, nor the size but see below..
This lathe just became availible here in Tucson by one of the club members. Here are some details.

1-1/2-horsepower, 115Volt motor. Electronic inverter to convert from 1 phase to 3 phase provide ability to vary frequency of the motor which in turn allows for variable speed
Cast-iron bed and legs
Includes lathe, several tool rests, faceplate, spur center, live center, knockout bar, tool storage rack

If you think you might want this, I could pick it up for you, and when I am on my return trip to Tucson, I could drop it off with the Beast and it's little buddies... Payment would be due upon delivery.

If Barry isn't interested, anyone within 100 miles either side of my path that might want it, let me know and I'll let you know my route. ........... Jerry (in Tucson)

I just called Grizzly, g1023rl that I ordered is only pushed back until March 22, ill let my order stand. It's still the best saw for the money. People that ordered after me aren't getting theirs until Aug or Sept.
 
Oops...... I think Barry wants a saw, not a lathe. Sorry bout that... Jerry (in Tucson)
That's a heck of a deal but I don't need a lathe right now. Haven't even spun up anything on the one I got from San Antonio quite awhile back. And yes I was talking about a table saw!! Thanks for looking out for me though!!
 
The Wood Gods and mailman and were good to me today...from left to right: Afzelia, Golden Camphor, Amboyna, and two Pyinma pieces.

A few duck calls from Echo. One thing, how do I tell an open water call from a timber call?? Hmmmmmmmm
LMGTFY

The bore for an open water is bigger to give you more volume. The timber calls have a smaller bore for more hold, which will give you built in back pressure.
 
Ahhh, there's nothing like some built in back pressure. (Don't mind me, I have never even held one of these calls).
 
Sure enough it went to a neighbor with the same house number and a street name starting in “C”.....

Oh, a picture of it unwrapped.......had to build suspense. Thanks @Tony , and a previous post, and the multi-axis challenge......seems like too neat a product especially with bangle centers floating around.

Got some new spray bottles for wd40. I always have at least a gallon on hand. Very useful stuff. 20210206_075636.webp
