Shame on me...

Do we submit our orders now, or wait till it's all cleaned up?

WOW Joe, thats one cool lathe! You have so many cool rod building toys now.
Can I be your rod building apprentice?

He actually had one of these lathes many years ago that was under the Atlas name, and he found it to be a good hobby lathe that you could get decent tolerances with... .001 -.002 if you paid attention to what you're doing.

I had an Atlas and made a forearm piece for a model 97 Winchester--traded it off for a Logan of questionable quality and ended up giving the Logan to somebody for parts and buying a Southbend. Take your time and it will serve you well.

like Fishbum said--go easy on the ways and dont remove any material.

Take care

Thanks for your confidence, but that would be like the blind leading the blind. I just started building rods a year and a half ago, and I'm still learning what I don't know.

Nice score Joe and just think, you'll now be able to make German silver ferrules in the event you need some for....oh, some cane rod or other you may fall into !

Cheers friend,

Wtf Joe? I thought you said you had to figure out how to use it? Looks to me like you're a PRO!!!!!!

Great work! I agree with Mr. Castwell.

Mr. "Multi Geared Photdough God":
When you get that new toy all cleaned and spiffy, I'll send you the pics, (and if I can find them still?), the specs..... on the fly reel that I made last year on my friend's lathe.
With your obvious talent on seat and rod building, no use not doing "the complete package"!!

Wow Joe you stole that for $350. I am a guy that loves to look and find a good bargain and must congratulate you on yours.

Do you have the destruction manual that goes with it?

Instruction manual? What's an instruction manual? I don't need no stinkin' instruction manual....
