What happened Joel, did it die, get stolen; or did you move on to something else. Maybe a different color?:D
 
You're gonna love it! Congratulations. Be careful when mounting the Headstock on the bed when you get the bed mounted on the legs! It takes 8 months to regrow a fingernail after pulliing it out while extracting finger from between headstock and bed. :) At least that's what I've been told, of course I would never admit making such a painful mistake myself. :D
Merry Christmas, and Happy turning.
 
Gloat

Thank you for all the pats on the back, nothing like waking up to hot coffee and a ego booster.:D
The shop,studio,(garage) is heated, I barely have room, got the 18" extension and floor mount tool rest, that bugger is big. Yes I have cigars, stop in and have one, cold beer, hot coffee.
Merry Christmas to all, find peace in your life.
Jim:)
