    Smile Whheeee! My lathe is on the way!

    Well, I received my tax refund and ordered a new lathe this morning.

    Amazon.com came through with a Nova DVR 2024. Tuesday is going to be a special day! I've the weekend to clean the shop before it arrives so I have someplace to assemble it.

    Thanks for all the answers!

    You will be very happy with the new lathe I have had mine for eight months and it has done everything I have asked of it from a 28" bowl to pens with no problems.

    Thanks, guys. I've been waiting two years to get a new lathe. I have a 10" where I turn pens and turn small projects. I really want to make decent sized bowls. Turning is the only woodwork I plain on doing now. I've sold my tablesaw and jointer and now I only have tools for home maintenance and for supporting my lathe work.

    Thanks, Everyone!

    I'll have some pictures tomorrow morning. I was too sore to do any setup last night.

    I did think of an easy way to get the lathe hoisted, though. I'm going to use a Gorilla ladder (like a little giant, but much stronger) with a 1" pipe across the top rungs (as an upper pulley) and a 4x4 under the bottom rungs to anchor a come-along.

    I figured that the lathe would come with the headstock, tailstock, banjo, and bed unassembled. Silly me. Everything was attached.

    I'll rig my toy crane and set it on the legs during my lunch break and be turning tonight after work!
