Excellent Roy! You're gonna have some good times now. I like the bins for your tools. You'll be reaching for them pretty often. Thanks for the picture, it DID happen.

YAAAYYY, it got there in one (you know what I mean) piece!:biggrin:

I see you put the gear cover on, like an IDIOT I threw away the one that came with it, I made that one JUST FOR YOU! I always left it off but I guess that's not the safest thing to do.

PM me if you have any questions Roy.:wink:

Yes Doc it's a 7x14 and came with tons of accessories that Rick sent with it. Yes I remember you telling me about yours and I also remember Karen's comment, her and Dee just don't understand.......or maybe they do:rolleyes:

Roy, you said you were tight for space. I see space on both sides of the lathe:tongue: So, have you made anything yet?

We haven't heard much out of Roy in the last couple days. It is in the 70s where he is at, do you think he might be playing with the new lathe?

You sure? Seems like you coulda got that pic off Internet. We want proof!

I'm suspicious as well -- it is WAY too clean, and also, all the accessories are neatly organized!

I've got to get another "7X__". I sold my 7X10 a few years ago for lack of use, and now that I turn pens, I see all kinds of uses for another metal lathe.

Hey Roy.................
I don't care what you do or don't have.....
I just posted to say that I like your name......................


Roy Quast
For some reason, every time I see or hear the name, I can hear old "Gabby Hayes" saying.....Awwww Roooy! Some are too young to even know who Roy Rogers was. Pitty! BTW, nothing against anyone named Roy! :wink:
