>Where in NC are you, Fred? I mean approximately�not looking to stalk you or anything.

My daughter lives in Charlotte and we get up there from time to time. I've had coffee with Wayne Cooper a couple of times there, too.

>Yes they do. I'm glad you got yourself a work horse.

I found my Bonnie [Bonnie Klein lathe] in the WC classifieds. A fine guy named Bob S. had a lonely Bonnie on a shelf and I had an empty workbench just for her, a perfect match.

>Good for you. Good heavy iron is hard to find now days. Strongly suggest you figure out a cover for that belt. GT

>The cover had just been taken off. We were in the process of dismantling the lathe to load it on a pickup, so the cover did not show up in the pic.

I had a quick demo of the lathe, and the previous owner rouged up a piece. I was amazed how much wood he was cutting in one pass, with no vibration at all. That lathe is solid, and the 1-1/2 HP Baldor motor does it justice.

Thanks for your concern, George. Without the cover that pulley and belt would be scary!

>Hummm...

That picture brings back a few memories! I turned on that same style of lathe in junior high school in woodshop class. We had three lathes in a class of about 30 kids, so you had to know Karate to get on one of the lathes...

Congradulations to you on getting a bigger, heavier lathe. Down here in Texas, we like things BIG and HEAVY. :-) Best wishes to you in all of your woodturning endeavours! If I can assist you, please do not hesitate to contact me. Take care.
