Hey, you found my lost lathe! Please return it as soon as is possible! I am not sure how it made the trip to SC from Denver, but, heck, it must have somehow!
(Nice haul, BTW!)

Hahah, it's only clean because I had to make room for the new toy. That entire corner had to be reworked as previously I couldn't squeeze anything else in the shop anywhere, Somehow in making room for the bigger lathe I ended up with a much more functional corner and room to spare
Also moving the mini to that wood cart raised it up to a higher and much more comfortable position. I had it on a dedicated wood stand before and it was a good 6" lower than it is now. Amazing how not having to bend over constantly feels so much better on the back.
I need to get some lighting over the big lathe now though. Still not sure which route I want to go with that yet.

Sure wish one would follow me home. Did you leave a trail of wood chips for it to follow?
Nice haul and great that you and the wife can now turn together.

"I need to get some lighting over the big lathe now though. Still not sure which route I want to go with that yet."
I discovered a $20 clip-on LED light sold by Lowe's. Liked it so much that I bought two more. So now I have one for the lathe, one for the drill press, and one for the disc sander. The spring clamp has rubber pads, but they don't hold quite as well as I wanted, so I cut a couple pieces of "waffle" pad that is used to keep rugs from slipping, and adhered them to each of the jaws with double-sided tape. The lights are sturdy, no bulb to break, and the light can be directed by moving the goose neck around. I showed them to the guys in my woodturning club, and they went out and bought them too. Unfortunately, just now, I couldn't seem to find them in a search on the Lowe's site. Since I can't manage to "insert image" just from my computer, if you want to see a pic, email me. russktrashnan@optonline.net. Just take out the trash before sending the email. BTW, good score! Russ
