Gee Mac, guess you will have to get some more toys.

Yeah, right, Reed....

It was a great week and I grossed about $600... 3 or 4 more like that and I'll
have the Nova paid off.. lol

I just got my Robust, and a Monster articulated hollowing system. The articulates systems are great for smaller hollow forms up to about 8 inches deep.
They make hollowing easy. I have 2 shows to get ready for in July, along with the Olympic track and field trials here in town. Maybe I can have my Robust paid off by the end of that.

I'm hoping that the Nova will be the last lathe that I buy, but never say never,
right? Sounds like you're having fun with the Robust, what are the specs on it?

I'm trying to avoid the hollow forms thing... It and segmented work seem like
stuff that costs a lot of money and would really sidetrack me from the market
that I already have..

Besides, I'd have to get the one that looks like a metal lathe 'cause I'm way
too old to have a boring bar strapped to my arm when I get a catch!
