Aw shucks. I was waiting the whole time to see them run the carriage into the chuck!

I would not want to buy a lathe from someone who obviously does not know how to use it because you never know what they messed up on it.

I was sure they were going to change gears with the lathe running

You wood think they could of practiced operating it before the camera rolled.

Lets flip this lever and see what happens??!!!

Nice lathe though. As long as they didn't mess with it too much!

I was thinking the same thing. We have a lathe at work like this one. Of course it doesn't have the bungee upgrade.....

Was for me too...and I don't even own a metal lathe!

I half expected him to haul out with a mallet when some of the levers would not move for him.

Title on the clip was wrong...should have been: When all else fails, RTFM, or Power tools are not for everyone.
We had an old W&S turret lathe we tried out the new guys on. It would grind and moan, but it took all the abuse the aspiring apprentices could dish out.I cut my teeth on that beast.
