ok, its been a while since ive posted and since then not much has happened with the lathe

since the last time i posted...
got some new toys, a centec 2 mill and a rexxon pillar drill (massive distraction)
had a couple of transport malfunctions (singing the 1980s honda blues)
started a new job! (after 2 years it was about bloody time)
and to top it all off the weather seems to have an annoying sense of humor

it seems like some higher power is at work trying to keep me from finishing the project!
