My brother-in-law is helping a friend clear out a workshop. There is a Hitachi C12Y cabinet saw with Biesmeyer fence and a Crapsman lathe on a workbench thingy. They are offered to me for a price that is hard to pass on, so I've said yes. Now I have to find a place to put the lathe. And that will mean that I will have a used Delta contractor saw to get rid of. I can expect new tools to be showing up soon.

That means I'll have to procure lathe tools and all that...but I can futz around with turning.

Man...this is going to be fun, in several senses. I think the lathe is going to be in the garage for a while.

Oh well...

...and, just to be clear, this qualifies as a gloat in the rec.woodworking sense.

Mmmm, turning.

I have some turning tools, but they are far from sharp these days. They were Adam's grandfather's, so are probably antique.
No lathe, though. Someday...
