Thanks. I saw it at another store and it was much nicer. I bought it
mainly because I had a 10% off coupon burning a hole in my pocket plus
the Craftsman Club 10% discount. It was just over $80.00. I would have
preferred to build one too. However, I plan to use this lathe this
winter in my basement. Most of my other stuff is in the garage. The
combination of the cold and my unwillingness to move a bunch of stuff
out into the driveway have forced me to realize that the main shop will
be closed for the season. Now begins the migration to the basement.
SWMBO won't know what hit her. First, scroll saw and lathe. Then....
Thanks for your reply Steven.
