Huh? The ONLY Ridge Tools calendars I've ever seen had models, but not of their tools.

The last Ridgid tools calendar I saw was probably c 1979. The models were all posed with Ridgid tools, and there was a brief paragraph describing each of the featured tools.

You're right. Sorry. Shows what age does to memory. Want a rationale (may not be the actual reason): the shots in this calendar are stock shots; doing their own shots would have cost a much larger bundle of spondulix.

At the prices they are asking for the wood lathe ($199), they are practically paying you to take it. I paid $300 for that lathe (Sears at the time) around 1973. It is not the greatest, but it was sufficient to make many of a lamp, TV stand and other early american furniture and now legs for a kitchen table for my son.
