Brought home a new lathe last night, a Grizzly model G1495

Found it on Craig's List; the seller had bought it for a project that never materialized, and he never used it even *once*. He dropped over $1200 on the lathe and accessories, including a nice set of 6 starter chisels and one *really* nice Hamlet chisel (made in Sheffield), cleaned off all the shipping grease (and if you've ever bought a Grizzly machine you know what a PAIN that is), fully assembled the monster, then sold it to me for $700. I'm very happy to FINALLY have a lathe, and I'm on my way down that slippery slope... Wheee!
