Sometimes in the summer here, it rains or the mosquitos get hungry. Good to have an indoor project or 18 to do when that happens.

Hi Steven, I’d think you made a smart move. The Sherline equipment is great for small projects but iffy as a general hobby lathe. I’m with you on spending summers outdoors but it’s great to have something to do when those winter winds start howling.

It certainly is great having winter hobbies, I look forward to each winter and my workshop time!!!

In September when I moved the lathe downstairs, there were times I was wishing I’d stuck with my original plan for a small lathe… That was challenging.

Yes, summers are too short not to spend outside. We have an unfinished cottage which is great, there are always projects to do & keep me from making trouble (According to my wife…)
