Steve,
Thanks for the kind words. I hope the lathe comes out as good as the shaper. I have been pleasantly surprised at how square things come out after cutting it down with the shaper. It makes working with the part so much nicer, and lining things up so much easer. After I finish this lathe I'll start the milling machine, & I'm willing to bet parts will be even better to work with using the miller!
