I finally was able to pull the trigger on a new lathe. I replaced my little Grizzly G8688 with a Hitorque 8.5x20 bench lathe. Unfortunately I won't be able to actually get to using it for a while because of work

Your pens are already scary wonderful! Having an upgrade in tooling will be fun to see the results - Good for you.

Aww, the Grizzly looks forlorn. What is that green device to the left?

Ha, yea poor little grizzly. I'll probably set it up for a collet chuck and leave it geared at 36tpi for threading sections and finials, as well as using it for running my buffing wheels so I don't get the new lathe gunked up.
The green thing is a rolling mill. It's not the best quality, and is out of commission because I split a gear on it.
