Landing of the lathe

[nz_carver]

Hey all today's the big day I get the lathe
It's 7.25 am Im with my mate filling up on the m3
Bound to go see Peter to pick up the new babe
For on the road at 6am the little man in the gps tells us we will get there at 9.40 am

If you can't tell I'm like a fat kid in a cake shop rite now
Stay tuned

[corbs]

I picked up the same lathe not so long ago and while I haven't had a chance to take full advantage of it, I'm loving it being in my shed:wink:

[NCArcher]

I hope you remembered to pack the camera

[wheelinround]

Dave if your filling up on the M3 and not the F3 then your heading the wrong way :roll:

Ok so its 9.22am by the GPS calcs you should be turning of to Tinonee soon then again does it know of all the road works.:U

[tea lady]

What? Xmas again already? :U

[Scott]

Sounded like me when I picked up mine. Think I did a little pee in my pants when I woke up that day :)

All the best for setting up your baby. Remember, there is no cure to the addiction.

[nz_carver]

Dave that would be an 1-1/4 x 8tpi insert

[marcopolo]

Jim,
1" x 8 tpi is BSW and has been used on a large number of lathe headstocks.

[Sawdust Maker]

Lucky you Dave, I'll have to visit and drool on the bed, just so it can go rusty

I'd agree with Jim - latest Nova should be 1 1/4 8 tpi

[wheelinround]

Ah Dave why do you need a chuck to turn pens :p

Well by now you should be home and the lathe all set up so where's the pics:roll:

[nz_carver]

jims rite

[RETIRED]

OOOOOOO, very specy but too clean.:D

[nalmo]

Great lathe, I have the same. 1-1/4 x 8tpi is right, and I just purchased a Beall spindle tap to make custom wooden faceplates & jam chucks (I checked the size 3 times before ordering).

[wheelinround]

Cleanest thing in the shed.

:2tsup: Good on you now come on time for some chups n dust

[Scott]

Looks great but 's right, way too clean. I'm sure you'll mess it up very quickly :)

[nz_carver]

I have had a little play on it but its been a long day and just sat down

[tea lady]

Very nice! :cool:

[Ozkaban]

Nice choice of lathe... looks great there too :2tsup:

[Christos]

Very very nIce.

Now I know what was meant on you are on your x number of lathes.

[Sawdust Maker]

Nice

You probably should build one of those shelve thingies around it like the one Ray has

tell me when you've picked up all those accessories and I'll come and visit :D

Nice to see my baby settled into its new home.
Glad you got home safely & managed to extricate the baby from the car!
Sorry you missed the Expo - I will give you a 2013 calendar with the dates marked in flourescent orange so you don't do the same thing next year!!

Ray

[nz_carver]

[cookie48]

All lathes count. Great looking lathe you have. Get some floor dust and throw over it tho. Looks to pristine.

Just email me the dates please Peter.

:roll: Most sheds do Peter but I thought with CC's R&R and you running the show all on your own you'd have had little time for making a mess.

[Sawdust Maker]

Is it dusty yet?

[jefferson]

Tiff hasn't given the OK yet to make any mess! :D

[Pat]
