    Pete...that's just sick!!
    You must have been a good friend, congrats on scoring one of the finest current production lathes around. Look forward to hearing your experience with it.

    I'm betting you could add a few sandbags underneath to help give it some more ballast...

    Have fun and be safe.
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!

    Congrats on getting a monster lathe. I sure hope your shop floor is strong enough for that beast. Seems to me that the one I looked at in St Paul was 1400lbs or so!

    No, it's not thin enough yet.

    That's a nice gloat for sure! If you decide to part with the Mustard, I'm sure there'd be a line at your door (including me!)

    Seriously, that is an amazing lathe. Congrats. Too bad your friend isnt going to turn any more or is he going to upgrade...is there an upgrade?
    Thank you,

    He is moving to a condo in Florida so space is limited. I am still trying to figure out the best place to put the lathe in the garage.

    Hey Pete. I haven't been on this forum in a while but saw this thread while perusing. Who moved? That is a sweet lathe! Who got your mustard? How are things in MI? Not doing too much turning down here. All the tools are in the garage and ready to be used once I get around to it. I brought down about 40 rough turned bowls ranging in size from 8" - 19". Mainly cherry, walnut, and Ash. They are ready to be finished. Hope all is well with you and the turning group. jim

    Your real gloat is not the tools but the friendship. Enjoy both.

    I will make the sacrifice and haul that 3520B away for you. Looks like you could use the room.

    How large of a bowl can you turn now?

    What a score! (and a great friend you have!) ...A little like winning the lottery? The only other wood lathe that comes close to that heavy-weight, high-end, bad boy is the Laguna Pinnacle MTP105 and IMHO, the Serious SL2542 is the better one. Congratulations!

    Here's a Dream Machine comparison.

    That's quite a gift. I checked out the Serious at the San Jose Symposium - massive was my first impression.

    ps:it may just be me, but is your computer living in April of 2012, or am I just seeing a wierd date and time on your posts?
