I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE MY 80th BIRTHDAY TODAY!

This is my Birthday Gift. I'm presently in the process of building a bench for it.

I'll be posting it when it's completed

I had to get this new lathe, because I have some larger wood from a Black Walnut I had to have taken down in our

yard.

I'd like to make some larger things with the wood. I couldn't let it go to the chipper!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Addendum:

I dwelled on wether to buy a new lathe at age 80, but I remembered my 90 year old neighbor. He painted his stucco house all by himself at that age, so I said to myself, "GO FOR IT"!

Lathe with the extension attached!

Hi Dick,

I'm thinking this is due to Barb taking good care of you for all those years. (my wife keeps trying to kill me with health food)

Have a very happy birthday my friend!

Enjoy your new lathe.

Lee

THANKS LEE!

Barb is always so kind to by letting me pick my own gift. This is a two-way deal, after 60+ years that's the way you do things.
Obey your wife about the food, she's doing her best to take care of you, & you stick with your woodworking.
