well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin

"but what would be smoking to excess?"

Why smoking two pipes at once of course

Rev I'm surprised in a town like Long beach with all those ports and trade shops along there that you can't find somthing " ON THE WATERFRONT" :shock:

Long Beach and San Pedro ports, the valley, we even have the damn city of industry. I have been searching in Orange County, LA county, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties and Ventura county... only lathes that seem readily available are either too small, or absolutely huge and expensive.

Used to live in Mission Viejo/Irvine... everything is expensive. Glad I got out. Especially now that I hear your lathe searching woes.

I have a PM1127VF-LB. Has an AXA QCTP. Works well. The one the rev found is pretty sweet, South Bend made good lathes. I learned on a war-surplus 1940's South Bend lathe. If I had the extra cash and could get the lathe shipped, I'd buy it myself.
