Dale is on the north/west side. I'm on the East Side. Kathy is on the far west. We're all members of the AZ Woodturners and know about 150 others locally.
It's a bit of a long story which I won't go into but I wish you had gotten the Vicmarc instead of me.
Congrats.
This one is live but it's only 1x8 so you'd need a 1x8 to 1.25x8 adaptor to fit your chuck.

If it doesn't need to rotate there's this:

I talked to the lady in charge at the Powermatic/jet booth in Tampa today. She confirmed NO price increase. I showed her the CPOpowermatic website and said its incorrect. There is no price increase...
I don't think it will be in my shop long. I don't need it and I have a new friend that's in the market so it may end up going home with him, at a small markup. Not sure about the chucks, gouges, and...
Ok, it's not at my house yet, and technically I'll only own 50% of it when it gets here but it was priced too good to pass up, even if I don't really need it (my primary lathe is a PM3520b).

Indonesian Ebony.
I haven't signed mine yet but I'm planning to sign my name, my Club's name, the date, and Beads of Courage.

We're lucky because the headquarters is down in Tucson, just a couple hours south. We had a representative from the organization come to our January meeting and give a short presentation.
The...
Done!
I decided to change plans and go for a completely different base. I intended to carve some feet out of the wood I left behind but opted to turn it into an integral bead instead. This was...
I decided to redo the lid. They're supposed to be a loose fit because these go to little kids but the first lid was way too loose for my taste. I also turned the knob out of African Blackwood and...
We had a presentation from the Beads of Courage people back in January. This will be my contribution. Mahogany and Curly Eucalyptus with a (yet to be turned) African Blackwood knob. Turning is...
I'm impressed.
If its 12" wide and 3" thick then the thickness would be 1/4 the width. This does not appear to be true. Either it's 3" thick and significantly wider than 12" or (more likely) it's 12" wide and...
It's a reeves drive lathe, I'd pass.

It will definitely be there, and possibly 1 or 2 more that I started working on yesterday.
Work continued on my hollow torus. I'd already removed the recess on the first side and had to figure out a method to remove it on the other side. On the first one I did I was able to expand my...
More progress on my Maple burl torus. Please see http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?196276-Work-in-progress-Maple-Burl-hollow-torus for part I.
Hollowing continued. I was able to reach...
I'm making a piece which will be donated to my local woodturning club for an upcoming event. I decided to do a hollow torrus and selected a nice chunk of Big Leaf Maple burl.
This was my blank. ...
My barracuda2 did come with one of the square drive keys as shown in the image. This was 6 or 7 years ago (it also came with inserts for 1" x 8 and 3/4" x 16 only). I threw it away when I got my...
I'd be willing to bet that they're a rebranded/renamed PSI Barracuda2 and Barracuda4. Personally I'd steer clear.

Unfortunately most of it isn't mine. This half pickup load of Ebony was donated to our club by one of our members. We're still figuring out what to do with it, it will likely be used for one of our...
I got the price from the owner of the local Woodcraft franchise. I've also seen the same price reported elsewhere.
