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.

No lathe, though. Someday...
