Nice deal on a lathe, perhaps even a gloat

[Steve Turner]

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!

Welcome to latheland and nice score!

I'm surprised that nobody noted the irony of your last name. Come on now, Turner????

Is there a more appropriate surname for a wood turner?? :-)

You have definitely gone over to the dark side.

Jeeeez. I have an elderly Sears model that I would have sold you for the same price. As it is, I will trade you even up. Howzatgrabyuh?

mahalo, jo4hn

p.s. You suck.

[Steve Turner]

Yes, for SO many years I've held my head in shame because I haven't been living up to my namesake. Finally I'm SOMEBODY!
