FINGERS CROSSED.

i'm part way through a 20 pen order. they are all turned and sanded and i clearcoated 4, just as my lathe decided to act up and stop working. god let it be something simple like a switch, cause i swear i will use duct tape to fix this if i have to. i have lots of ca if i need it.

so couldn't get out to the shop (family stuff) contemplating buying a new lathe. looking at ebay and such, cursing (in my head) wondering if i could borrow a lathe to finish my order. got the kids to bed headed out to the shop to tinker with the lathe. took of the switch housing and this is what i found. happy day, happy day.

Looks like pure luck to me. Congratulations on the easy fix!

Looks like a good place to store some duct tape! Now, get back to work.
