Happy birthday Dick. Wow, you are really doing well, and still getting new woodworking equipment besides. I will be there myself in 8 years and I hope your inspiration will help me get there. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of the your fine new lathe.

Coincidentally I bought this exact same lathe for my son who lives in Sweden, under the brand name ‘Woodfast”. It has the same capacity 12” as my old faithful Record lathe, but better equipped with the cast rails, index lock, and that sturdy tailstock. I am going to Sweden this summer to teach him how to use it, so I hope we can compare notes when I get back.

Enjoy your gift.

Happy Birthday… 80 is a numerical milestone but you are only as old as you feel.

Hi Dick,

I’m thinking this is due to Barb taking good care of you for all those years. (my wife keeps trying to kill me with health food)

Have a very happy birthday my friend!

Enjoy your new lathe.
