Hi from Calgary

Welcome from Ottawa glad to have you aboard I have the same lathe, still learning lots here as well as machining gives you so many opportunities to make mistakes and learn from them. Enjoy the forums.
 
Welcome from Ontario farm country - where your dog disappears in 5 seconds, the weeds are taller than Prairie trees, the men are girls, and the government is everywhere!

Ps - I was born a Saskatchewan farm boy. I've been held hostage in Ontario for over 50 years by a Hot Italian Babe who let's me play with machinery and tractors as long as I don't try to escape or make anything useful.
 
Ha! I started as a farm boy up North, but I've been in the city fixing airplanes for the last 20 years. I have used the lathe to make some pullers and bullets for various jobs on the planes.
