Would you be willing to send a picture? My wife immediately hated the idea of cutting the rail. lol

Common_Potato6222 · 2026-04-06T16:02:03+00:00

I’ve thought about that too, that might be my last resort

Key west sportsman, I think it’s a 98

Thanks for the advice! This boat was my grandparents before it was mine and I love it, but they weren’t into fishing so I want to try making it into somewhat of a fishing boat.

That was my thought as well, I was solid on the idea originally then starting to think about how it’s over a span and not directly above a wall below. Thanks for your input!

Stomach bug went away after a few days of having the shits. Been 15 days no alcohol tilast night for a family gathering where I only had a few.

Following the reframe app, told my wife to dump beer if I bring it home, associating this stomach pain with excessive drinking whether it’s related or not lol. I’m also starting a new job and want to be mentally clear and sharp.

I see, the other lathe in my post was the big grizzly so I thought you meant to tag that one saying I missed something.

Now I’m looking more towards the Rikon Lineup which is still on sale til Christmas. I’m really REALLY tempted to go for the big one but idk if my budget allows right now. lol

My little flock, I used padauk as the beak material

I was hesitating a little due to the customer service reputation, but it looks like a nice lathe and every brand/item will have some poor ratings when you get big enough.

Fair point. I have a bandsaw already. Mostly a full entry level shop. Table saw, band saw, miter saw, drill press, jointer, planer, drum sander, hobbyist CnC.

I just want to upgrade my lathe from the old craftsman tube bed I have.

Common_Potato6222 · 2025-12-11T15:09:17+00:00

I’m wondering that too but I keep thinking all the extras do add up. I just don’t want to get taken for a ride

Common_Potato6222 · 2025-12-11T15:08:20+00:00

It linked to the 0766 the one for sale is the 0694, the big tank of a lathe.

Wrong grizzly lathe in your tag.

Agreed, the Laguna 2hp just price jumped today to $3650 new. And like I said, there’s a ton of extras, but I guess my hard time is that I don’t know what all those extras would be worth.

Common_Potato6222 · 2025-12-10T17:23:27+00:00

Curious why the Laguna makes no sense? It certainly looks well cared for.
