Because of Christmas generosity of my wife & 2 grown sons, I now have a lot of choices...........I think it will end up being an articulated hollowing system, and several other things turning related..........like another SN2 chuck and I just got the inline skate wheels to make a steady rest!
My bride received a JoolTool setup. I received a Nikon D7000 which will replace my 4 year old D80.
First thing I did with the new camera is photograph her JoolTool, her 8" grinder, and my Bader III belt grinder. Just wanted to make sure the camera was 'sharp' <s>
I got to spend time with the grandkids, and my daughter. I also got the Kel McNaughton system. I'm building my own 60" bed extension.
Happy Holidays to all.
Jim
I note that when men have a gadget they'll use it, like won't ask for directions but will ask the GPS, or won't talk to the spouse, but will if he can flip out a gadget!!!!!! Happy New Year all you men, and to a few of us women.

I received my new, fully loaded, 25" Robust American Beauty lathe about 5 or 6 weeks ago. My wife said it is my Christmas present (for this and a few more Christmases to come).
Three more "honey do" projects because I bought her some home improvement stuff she's been clamoring for. One and a half done, when all are perhaps she'll gift me with some turning time.
Oh yes, a snow blower for the tractor so I fear no drift.
I got another Vicmarc VM120 chuck. I am very excited to not have to switch jaws as frequently. Plus, now I can have two projects going on different lathes. :cool2:
Got to spend our first Christmas with our grandson ( 7 yrs). He and I went fishing with his new big boy pole and grandpa's new pole. Caught 14 trout and it doesn't get any better than that.
