First minor critique -- it is a "lathe" not a "lahter". The
work done on it is called "turning" not "lathing".

Actually it was "lather". Alcohol and typing do not mix...

Alcohol and machining even less so IMHO.

You are right! All those empties around the shop, why, I could trip and hurt
myself! OTOH a case of 24 has its merits as a stop on the X-axis. But only
if it's full. It becomes less effective as the day progreses :-)

It is what I consider the minimum size of a useful lathe.
Figure out how to *make* room for a machine of this size.

I am thinking building a bigger house. Well, a bigger garage.

O.K.

Or I could shift the empties...

On a more serious note I see that the seller has not altered his price on
the Craig's list yet...
