Cecil...
Feb/March this year...now you're going ask why I haven't destroyed the mesquite?

Simple answer...paying job has taken all my time.

Just this old (1951) Oliver lathe.

Jim Young · Nov 3, 2006

That floor is WAY too clean there, buddy. That's five demerits right off the bat, and it's only your first day here. Sheesh!

Some day I hope to have a lathe in the same class as the 3520.

Does this look a little more like it Vaughn?

My 3000# Baby

Lee Thomas · Jan 2, 2007

Well I am new to this site, but I have been around for a while. Mine is a pre-1940 Delta 11" x 38" that has ben refurbished (except for the wood planks, I have to finish just that part)

I do have a "dirty shop" photo with the added shavings, but I like a clean shop myself.

I have a bunch of refurbs on my web site.

Frank Fusco · Jan 2, 2007

Well used Grizzly 1067Z.
BTW, that motor cover is permanently decorated with sawdust. When I make pens, I use spray Deft laquer while they are still on the mandrel. Dust collects and adheres nicely to other things with sticky laquer on them. Note Don Pencil hollowing tool ready for quick draw below.

Ron Jones · Jan 2, 2007

ShopSmith. Actually it's a much better lathe than table saw. :rofl:

Kevin Brady · Jan 2, 2007

I have a Turncrafter Pro midi lathe from PSI. I bought it a year ago - my first and only lathe...so far. A bit anemic on power, but it does pens and small bowls just fine. The lathe is just the tip of the iceberg, compared to all the accessories. I could've purchased at least a couple more of those lathes with the money I spent on all the chucks, chisels, pen-making tools, etc. Drawn into the vortex...

Cheers,

Kevin

Welcome aboard, Lee. Nice looking lathe, and I like the refurb pics on your site. You have a nice variety of cool old stuff.

Currently Rikon Mini - upgrading to Nova 16-2444.

Keeping my Wilton as my "Travel" lathe
