My first lathe!

My lathe came today! arty: It's a Grizzly G0657. Time to make some square wood round!:bananen_smilies051: Unfortunately, I already have something going this evening so I won't get to play with it much.:frown:

Congrats! That has got to be hard - lathe arrives and you can't use it yet.

That's a nice machine with all the right stuff. +1 on the variable speed. Got all your accessories already?

Sorry!:laugh: I just got back - was away all evening. Besides, you wouldn't want to see it now - it is dirty.... :giggle::laugh::rotfl: Tomorrow....:good:

If it's not dirty, you must not be using it right.:wink:

But we do like pics. You could do a before setup & after setup. And if you're like the rest of us, that will be one of the few times that it's really truly clean.

Congrats on the new toy . . . . . . . I mean tool.

PICS

Ok guys, here you go - pics of my lathe. Sorry they are such bad pictures, all I had was the camera on my iPod Touch. I'll try to get better pictures, plus pics of my first pen.

Nice pics. I love to see that sawdust under it. Cannot wait to see your pens.
