I sold my midi lathe last week. It was the last one of 3 and I am now lathe-less. It made me more than a little sad. We made such cool shiznit together, but I am making room for the new shop build where I will have a huge 3HP gap-bed pattern lathe with +26″ swing ad huge bed.  I won’t have a place to turn and have zero room left in storage.  It was time to let it go to a good home and get many more years of use.  That is a better life for a lathe then sitting is a dark storage room surrounded by boxes and plastic containers. It still makes me sad to both see it go and to not have another yet.
