Oh my yes.. I even have the blinds open in a work area to see when the truck arrives.
And I got in early at 6am...

 

[speedyb]

It is here! ;D :big:
1 hour, 15 minutes and I can take it home ;D

and take those pictures. which for once, wont embarrass me, as I have put good effort into cleaning up the
garage shop.

 

[speedyb]

we have pics
and a bit o swarf!

arrived in good shape

first peek

grab a beer and let the assemby begin

( i may bolt it directly to the bench at a later date)

and make a few swirly swarfs. And the Wife watched I'd like her to try out this small lathe.

oh and sneak this pic in too...lol. almost ready. Sears 101 compound, cleaned up and painted

 

[rhitee93]

Looks great. The 101 is taking shape to. Looks like you will have a couple of nice lathes soon.

 

[speedyb]

well, the ways on the 101 are poor. Have some machinable epoxy here..may just cowboy the back side of the back way with it. Cannot make it worse....lol. or can I...
I told my Son I would give it to him when I am done.

 

[Chazz]

Depending on your 'way' issue, have you heard of or considered 'Moglice'?

Cheers,
Chazz

 

[speedyb]

I have now, thanks kindly ;D
