Welcome to the turning votex a spinning deep dark black hole pulling you down and away, taking you fat billfold and empting its contents as it sucks you down and under,,,,,,,,
Next it will be a bigger and better chuck then some additional tools, then a coring system,ahollowing system,vacumn chuck,then a bigger and better lathe and then as you become the master of all another lathe upgrade.
Get you wife involved it makes the above mush easier to deal with ROTFFLMFAO

Prolly so, Boomgoon...heard almost the same words from contractor buddy of mine when I approached him about turning a broken down greenhouse in the back yard into a woodworking shop..His words.."Well, it could be done,Jim, but those tools can be dangerous...and, incidentally, what the he11 are you gonna make in it ?" When I couldn't come up with an answer another bright idea bit the dust. LMAO

It's all just FUN, Jeff...As to Shriner's benefit..by then I'll prolly be ready to upgrade the lathe and the little Mini-Jet would make a nice auction item, and I would be trying like heck to bid it back home.(Gawd..this IS a DISEASE..got the thing yesterday and already thinking about bigger and better thangs)..LMAO
See ya at the 'Bidding Table"...
