Henry,

My story mirrors yours exactly. Thanks for sharing.

And thank you also for turning me on to this forum! I'll be posting an introduction later today.

He was raised during the Depression when buying expensive tools for a hobby would never be considered. A few years ago it occurred to me that it would be fun to get the lathe that my Dad and I dreamed about. My Dad is no longer alive. Finally having a lathe has been fun and I often think about my Dad when I use it. He should have just bought the lathe all the years ago. Life is short.
