Clear coat will make it real easy to clean up. Dust will brush right off. Maybe you can take some aluminum turkey pans and make a run off for the cutting oil some how

Clear coat is just a touch too much work..........After all, this thing is going to WORK!

I've got some aluminum sheeting that I plan on making a "catch" pan with tho......

I'm just amazed at how good of shape this almost 100 year old lathe is in! I just can't find much wear at all!

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don, Pat and Charlie.

Not much going on for me today. Trying to stay motivated at my desk/computer.

LOL. I was a pain in a lot of them!
I was told I would hear from them with a decision on Wed, but things weren't looking good

A member on here gave me a [phone number to call yesterday.
I made the call, and spoke with someone

Phone rang this morning and told me to load the truck on the wrecker, and take it to the dealer.

I think I shook the right tree
