Nothing to do with Patty's new lathe but I glanced over to see her and Lucy doing some typing. Lucy is our office kitty that we adopted a few months ago. Can you tell she's a bit spoiled. :)

Very beautiful piece of machinry.  At least there will be no thoughts of up grading in the future.  That is pretty much the best money can buy.  With the 24 inch swing no need to swivel the head to the side to take on the larger projects.    I also found after getting my 16" Jet that the next big necessary purchase is a good set of tools.  Don't want to scrimp there.  And it looks like one more necessary purchase may be a step stool or platform  :) :)

Congrats!! 8) 8) 8)

I see your going to be doing some serious turning now. As farmer77 said, ya need some good tools for turning that art with. I went we Lee Valley's tools. I even bought their tools for going inside a vase. Looks like a big ring on the end, got two sizes and a sharpening stone with them. I had tried the local hardware and their cheapo turning gouges and I broke the handle off a couple of them. The steel was toooo soft for hardwood. You can even make a flat edge gouge from an old file, just take the end to a grinding stone and put a 10 deg angle (up and down) on the end of it.

Today I was cutting dowels to mount the table top on my night stand. Boy was that dull. Took it to my grinding wheel and put a nice shiny edge on the dowel cutter and the matching hole cutter. Before I did that the smoke was rolling off that ash, trying to cut it. Must have almost set on fire, I could barely breath. :D :D :D

They come even bigger. One fellow I know turns big spalted burls almost 3 feet wide for coffee tables. He hollows them out to. Now there is some serious wood shavings being produced on one of them monsters. ;D

Now you see, Patty... you went out and bought the wrong machine.  Let me come on up there and trade you out with mine.  It will treat you right.  What do you say... sometime between Christmas and New Year? ;D

That sure is a nice big lathe. :o I have been thinking about a larger lathe, but until I get some more room and some more money, I will just have to make do with my little lathe. :(  I will be waiting to see the big bowl you will turn on that new toy  tool. 8)
