Did you get everything back inside, Vaughn? I guess you must have been working hard at it since I haven't seen you post anything tonight.
Hope you beat the weather.

Everything is Back Inside (Almost)
Tonight after work the primary task was to get everything back inside. There is a big rain storm predicted for later this week (Thursday or Friday, depending on which forecaster you ask). I figure I won't really set everything back up until I get the electrical work done. I also have a clamp rack and lumber rack on order, plus I'm planning to completely re-think the machine layout now that I can actually roll my mobile bases easily. As a result, nothing was put into its final place. The focus tonight was just to get anything that can't stand a bit of moisture back under the roof. There's still a few odds and ends in the driveway, but I'll handle them in the morning.
Here's what I started with:
And here's how it looks now. Definitely not usable, but dry:
In case you hadn't noticed, I also had a few hours of distraction assembling something Santa left sitting in a big box in the driveway:
Looks like Christmas came early here.
I still don't have power to run the dang thing, and no prediction from the electrician when it'll happen, but I found what I considered to be a good deal at Osolnik Machinery and pulled the trigger last week.
I took a lot of photos of the assembly process, but it's way late and I need to hit the showers. I'll organize the pics and post something in Lathe Land after I get some sleep.
And now you know...the REST of the story!

Hey Vaughn, much like your HOOVER DC......................
.........YOU SUCK............
in the nicest possible way! 
Great score, but I have to say, the tools all setting outside there, the floor looks good enough there, why did you not just build a roof, and expand the workshop 
Boy it must hurt to sit there and stare at the Mustard Monster and have no electrons to run it
Oh well, in good time I guess.
Cheers! -- the "YOU SUCK" kind

Floor looks great. I am envious.
Your arrangement and mine look a lot a like right now.
And I was looking at the photos and thinking, "I thought he had a Sears lathe??".God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.

I bet you'll produce shavings before Ken.
