Super User .ghoti. Posted October 29, 2015 Super User Posted October 29, 2015 So when are we going to get custom grips from you?? We can help you with the blanks and cork rings if needed.. Scott makes some totally awesome grips. Take a peak at some of the threads he's started. Top shelf work!! 1 Quote
kcdinkerz Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 If it wasn't on sale, $695. However, it was on sale for $595 plus an additional 20% clearance.Not bad if only I had the space. I run a few engine lathes at work to bad they don't let me do anything else besides jobs for the company. Some day I'll get one haha Quote

Super User S Hovanec Posted November 1, 2015 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2015 Wood chips were flying this morning. Test run on an ugly block revealed the block wasn't so ugly after all. This thing is soooo cool. I need to get some acrylic in here now! Time to go upstairs and install a new dishwasher. 2 Quote

Super User S Hovanec Posted November 17, 2015 Author Super User Posted November 17, 2015 That lathe is so sweet!!! This is serious business! Here's the whole wall. I need to install some overhead lights. It's a little dim in that corner. There's a shop remodel in the works. I need to build another wall to separate the tool room from the laundry. Cork dust on clean clothes is not appreciated!! 3 Quote
