But it was a nice, worthwhile post. If the OP is like me, he might still
have the lathe and still be hoping he'll reach a round tuit.

Indeed, it prompted me to go find out what one looked like. Turns out
they are quite interesting machines:

I quite admire the design effort that managed to make such a versatile
machine and range of attachments, but part of me keeps thinking, I am
not quite sure I would have started with a lathe as the foundation of
the system.
