[just ben]

I have been looking for a lathe for a while without much luck of finding what I wanted used. then I stumbled upon this little gem a couple days ago.It was exactly what I was looking for at a price I could not pass up. for the lathe,stand and a bunch of tooling I gave 200.00 for it143789It's a grizzly g4000 9x19.

Sweet score there Ben. Ive been pondering the idea of getting into some machine work as well but like you I am a carpenter so kinda foreign to me but interesting.
