I've ordered a new switch, and it will be here Tuesday.
Fortunately, I live only 20-25 minutes from my good friend Brian Rowley, who very kindly agreed to let me use his shop this morning to cut some stems for 5 pipes that I had drilled before the lathe crapped out. With the Vegas show coming up next weekend, Brian was a life saver.
I would just like to declare publicly that Brian is "The Man".

Now I have plenty of shaping to do while I await that fucking switch.
