Hi the woodturners,

I'm Jim from Southern Cali. I am relativlly new to turning been at it for 6
months or so. I have been lurking for a couple of years though.


Begin Gloat*

I got a stubby...I got a stubby

End Gloat*

BSEG

Picked her up last week s-1000 stubby in perfect condition. Man sure make
my jet look like a toy.

Jim

unfortunately your gloat will not compile unless you include the mandatory
gload header, wherein you declare all the variables (like wife's jewelry,
children's college fund, etc that are held hostage to the deamon of
turning), and also include the required parameter files, such as:
{
//include expensive chuck (vicmark)
//include 220_VAC (new, $$)
//DECLARE tool_array (1,1024)
//include tool_array
//include back_surgery ($$,$$,$$) ** never unload a stubby all alone
}
and you have to initialize the various arrays
{
begin
while $_in_accound 0 do
peruse (catalog(i))
tool_array(i)=tool.buy (catalog(i))
end
}

only after that, are you ready to discover that the bigger tool requires a
blood sacrifice -- BEWARE.

and, enjoy the 1000, it's a great lathe. I know this because I have one.

As one who made his living writing code for many years, I won't comment
on your programming style.

But, you forgot some things...

Since Stubbys laugh at 100 lb + blanks, one needs to find a source of
these things. Then one needs to find a way to get them on the machine
without a trip (or another trip) to the doctor or chiropractor. Then,
one needs to find someone with the room to store those 30" salad bowls
and enough friends to eat what they can hold.

It never ends...

As one who raised 4 large sons, there never seemed to be a shortage of
people who can empty 30" bowls of any kind of food.

We're glad they still live nearby. Sunday dinners are a large project, and
a great joy. Leftovers are, however, scarce.

I haven't worked out the economic justification for the large Stubby yet.
My wife seems so far unaware that the Jet 1442 in the corner of the shop is
a new addition...

so, you're saying that you can do big things with your stubby, right?
maybe size DOES'NT matter.. *g*

And the longer she remains unaware, the longer you'll be able to post

I think she knows I'm not cursing the Shopsmith any more.

We celebrated our 32nd anniversary last week, several days at a very nice
place on the Pacific Ocean. She's in a very good mood right now. Hope it
lasts a while longer.
