Love the pics! Fire of Mordor looks so handsome on the bronze provari and ooooh... the purple and teal! Just beautiful! It does look like the perfect match! I'm glad you both like them!
We found someone with a strong back and he came by yesterday evening to help Doug get the new lathe up on the temporary bench. It's a smidge too high, so Doug will need to build a new bench for it. He went out to turn the first tip on it this morning and discovered it was off center. ACK! He can't make tips with it like that. So... after messing around with all morning, he thinks he's got it all adjusted and workable now. Oh.my.word. I hope so!
I like that it's a midi lathe! Jolly the Green Giant is still in the shop and taking up a lot of room. It'll be very nice to have that beast out of there! Soon, hopefully.
This is just a stock photo of the new lathe....
Is it just me or does anyone else see a strong resemblance?
I'll get you photos of Doug's when he has it all set up the way he wants it.
