    No issues with road trips, except for finding the window of time to do them in. Did a run east this summer, first four days was 4600 kms. Coming back, left Sudbury area one morning, and back home for a late dinner the next day.

    Alta tube can also be decent for heavy wall tube, CPO and induction hardened rods, and i think I’ve also seen some brass, bronze and maybe aluminum there.

    Actually it means I have more time to totally re-arrange the shop to fit it in….and also to work on some house reno’s.

    Shop New to me equipment coming.

    Oh that’s been thought about since we moved a year and a half ago. I’m planning a small addition this year if things go well, about another 10’x28’. After that has to wait and see. There’s room though to go about 30x 50 at the one end.

    Anyone traveling from Toronto to out west (Closer to Calgary the better) for the holidays?

    At some point next year I’ll likely be doing Alberta to Ontario a couple times, just not sure when as of yet.

    I’m a couple hours east of Edmonton. Originally from Ontario, moved out here 7-8 years ago, best thing I ever did career and financially.

    Only 4700 kms away. I do have friends there though….wonder if they’d stash it in a garage for me? Lol That is a nice lathe though, with all the bells and whistles from the looks of it.
