How you liking this lathe? I really like the size specs on this one. Wondering how the performance is.

Nice video. New subscriber

I actually missed the sound you were talking about for Part 1. I sure sounds great to me. I think you've found yourself a great lathe. Keep on, Keeping on!

Nice lathe, Luie. I believe you will be happy with it. I had a Central Machine just like yours for many years then finally got one with a reverse and found that to be a wonderful feature. Can't wait to see it in action now. Keep on, keeping on!

Wow - Nice… 👍

You did a really good and informative review. I really appreciate that. I am hoping that I will be able to get this lathe at some point. I have a Central Machinery lathe now and have done a lot of turning on it. Great starter but no reverse or variable speed. Got to start saving up for this one.. I have subscribed and I look forward to see some of your projects.

sweet!

That turned out beautiful! Love the pattern of laminated beam.

Turned out great! Thanks for sharing

hey there, saw you in @Bailey woodwork live chat. Came over here and subscribed and smacked that bell button. I might consider getting that lathe stand.

👍👍👍

Congratulations on the new lathe. It looks solid, I'm envious 😊

What a great way of looking at life. I’m going to adopt that onto my daily thoughts Thank you

Totally agree!👍

So true!

Hi Luie... That's a beauty...

So pretty ❤

Nice!

Beautiful

That turned out nice!!

Beautiful workmanship! Looks like walnut & locust!

Beautiful Luie. Love that song too. Brings back childhood memories. 😊😊

Under that lathe is a gold mine for people who camp! Nice and fluffy dry tinder just waiting for a spark! Be safe, and package that up to sell next to firewood bundles!😂😂😂 I use the noodles from processing firewood to light my stoves, but home depot, Lowes, tsc and a lot of outdoor equipment store are mixing it with paraffin wax and selling it for $5.00+-!

Sounds good

Just subscribed to you, I have an antique wood lathe I am getting going

Awesome

Nice work, Happy New Year 🎊

I love your ingenuity. Most people today have to buy it. That's great if you've got the bucks. While life is pretty good now, when I was young I had to learn how to make do. That meant possessing ingenuity. You've got it and I admire it! Thanks, Ed

That's a nice unit.

Looks nice, I had no idea they had one. $600 not bad. I already have a 36 inch variable. One of the tools I rarely use. The last time was about 2 years ago. Chair legs. Might use it on the baby crib I started on. Oh one thing I do use it for , a drum sander. Lathe some wood, apply sand paper and build a table to place under the spindle. Turn her on and push the wood through. Works great on table tops , things like that. In my case up to 36 inches

Cool, dude. Happy New Year!

Great work, really beautiful color contrast👏👏👏 Bye😊

Thanks for the video. When I was working as a machinist I made my own lathe modelling it after a Delta from one of their catalogues. I have also made all of my own chisels and handles out of Ash or Black Cherry. I love your sharpening setup and I will probably do the same thing when the weather warms up. Thanks for the inspiration.

Impressive lathe Luie, it looks very sturdy and I hope you get a lot of good turning projects out of it, one thing I notice is that you may have to get an extension because the tailstock gets in the way of lathe tools! Enjoy it and looking forward to seeing some projects, thanks! Cheers Al

Congratulations on your new purchase. Happy New Year with best wishes 🌲🌲🎉🎊🍾🥂🙂👍

Nice follow up Luie. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

Been there done that keep up good work Thanks 😊

Nice lathe brother, good move on the stand.

Looks like a great lathe

Another turner had weird sound and after changing headstock bearings (Harvey lathe) made same sound. Audio was creating the sound.

Great review of this very capable lathe, Luie! Harbor Freight has really stepped up their game the last couple of years. I think you will find this lathe to be a pleasure to use for years to come! 😀 Phil

I still have my harbor freight 10x18. I love it. I call it my little sweetheart. I love your videos. Keep them coming

Great video. Nice layth

We'll be watching!

Congratulations, I am considering upgrading my 6 speed Delta, to this model or the Rocker version. The VS is a great option. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

Looks good! Sounds good! Looking forward to your next project! Thanks

Great review. There's plenty of capacity in that lathe to keep you going for years!👍

Good follow up Luie. I heard the sound you are talking about. I figured it was mic location and the fact you were in low range. When spinning fast in low I think it is typical the sound is different. Motor needs to turn faster to get the higher speeds. Which can lead to belt sounds. Just kind of what I was thinking at the time. Anyway it sure sounds smooth to me. Gary

Please update your video to show the tool rest. Thanks

Hey, this quote from Ron Brown’s newsletter applies to you; Jason Statham: " If someone tells you it can’t be done, do it twice and take pictures.” Keep up the good work.
