   Blue light special on old sexy tools? Am I on the right forum? 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

RC,
Thanks for posting pic of latest lathe. One showing the cross slide would be valuable.
Still havn't decided which way I am going to go for mine. That's the problem when you have
too much good junk and options.

Hi RICH,
 Here is another view.
Made up with stuff on hand.
I also made a 4 pos. tooling block.
The wire wheel really dresses up the final thread nicely.
The oil is mineral and lard, excellent for brass.
This is a real "tight" little rig.
Quite small cap. but it was made for small parts.

with those lights, it looks like you're using it in a strip club

Prolly the one next to the Home Depot!

That's a real slick setup you have there. Good stuff, RC. Makes me want one even worse now.
