the lathe man cometh

[d.huber]

Ok I think the big jet is just too big for my situation, convince me otherwise I am open.

And say I buy the grizzly why am I going to regret it in a year? If the jet is a better lathe, what are the "symptoms" of that as I go forward.

I am very serious about pipe making, even if it is always just a hobby, I want to be a very good hobbyist. I want what I need to make great pipes.

I say go for the Jet. My 12 X 24 is a fantastic size, but y'know, sometimes I wish I had a longer bed.

No doubt you could lift me many times, while I may be 6'4 I don't weight much over 140 (10stone) as I am a skinny runt, nothing like that fat walrus Ernie. Actually that's an insult to walruses.

but he has such glorious hair

Had such glorious hair, had. It's short now.

Well at least you have the option, mine is short cos otherwise you can see the missing bits.

Totally go with bigger on the lathe.

Sorry your thread got jacked by these plebes. It's rather unfortunate really.

Cheers!
