good lathe wanted

[Byron Raleigh]

hi there,
i'm looking for a good solid second hand lathe. vicmarc, woodfast or something along those lines.
can anyone assist?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Our club had a few good contacts to lathes for sale at the last meeting, but I didn't take any great notice of the details... I already have more lathes than limbs. :rolleyes:

However, next meet is this coming Wed., if you give us an idea of yer budget, I'll take notes this time...

You could try Frank at Northern Machinery.

Good lathes very occasionally turn up on Ebay.

Seems most turners die before giving up their babies.

All too true. More than half of the lathes I hear of through the club are from deceased estates.

Yeah, moving mine would kill me.

Hey Ern, wouldn't want that happening, I could be there tomorrow and remove it for you :q

[rsser]

LOL.

We could consider something like a reverse mortgage.

You keep me supplied with delectable timber and the lathe is yours when I die :2tsup:

And what do you consider to be delectable timber Ern :pipe1:and what is your expected life span :whatonearth: :U

[rsser]

This'd be a curly one to bowl to the actuaries.
