    It's a GIRL!!!

    OK, OK, so it's not a "girl," more of a gloat, but SHE sure is sweet! And she has a pair of.... horsepowers that won't quit!

    And as I'm not a fan of mayonnaise at all, I hereby dub my new lathe as "Vanilla"!

    Here it is unimpeded by the PhotoShop process... still trying to figure out where to set it.

    This just so wrong in so many ways. LMAO though. I've been on a 1442 for years and it's served me very well. I think you'll love this machine and it'll run for ever. Congratulations.

    It takes a real man to turn on a pink lathe! Congrats on the vanilla!

  8. That pretty in pink lathe is a definite step up from the one in the background [I know from experience ] congrats on the upgrade Steve!

    What's wrong with pink? I have a pink vacuum cleaner so I see nothing wrong with a pink lathe!

    I thought the Jet would be replacing the Craftsman in the background....

    Congrats on the new lathe. You're going to enjoy it. I know I'm enjoying my 1642...

    Now I wonder if I've got any pink spray paint...

    Pink is a bad choice for a lathe color, you may have to fight the wife off of it to use it. Congrats on the lathe!!!

    Congrats, Steve! While you brag about having actual "sawdust" on the lathe and floor, the real story here is that you turned that form from a 100lb. blank with only four tablespoons of dust. I am surprised no one picked up on that. IMPRESSIVE!!
