Default Nice deal on a lathe, perhaps even a gloat

Brought home a new lathe last night, a Grizzly model G1495
(http://www.grizzly.com/products/Heav...d-Lathe/G1495). Found it
on Craig's List; the seller had bought it for a project that never
materialized, and he never used it even *once*. He dropped over $1200
on the lathe and accessories, including a nice set of 6 starter chisels
and one *really* nice Hamlet chisel (made in Sheffield), cleaned off all
the shipping grease (and if you've ever bought a Grizzly machine you
know what a PAIN that is), fully assembled the monster, then sold it to
me for $700. I'm very happy to FINALLY have a lathe, and I'm on my way
down that slippery slope... Wheee!
