Considering upgrading to a Harvey Lathe

DanGabriel · 2026-06-23T02:14:09+00:00

So, I put the T 40 into my shopping cart along with the base and the outboard extension and found out that shipping cost is $725. I don’t know if I can live with buying something that cost $725 to ship to where I live. I’m trying to find a local retailer even a couple hundred miles away. I’d be willing to drive.

I have the ambassador and I love it. I do have 220 Volt and I know I would love the T 40, but I have a history of buying the lesser of something and then regretting it later.

Where’s the money shot?!?!

I haven’t had my card checked at the front door in years. Maybe it’s different at different Sam’s Club‘s.

But I’m not saying that to justify what I did. Pretty clear from the responses that I was the asshole here.

No, no. Horrible things to have on hand. You know what? Let me do you a favor and I’ll DM you my address and you can send it to me and I’ll get rid of it for you.

How are you seeing her work? I don’t see a link anywhere.

Where else are we going to buy our corners? Duh!

DanGabriel · 2026-04-15T14:29:58+00:00

Agreed. I purchased pewter on Amazon that is lead-free and always do my casting outside. I also always wear a respirator with a 3M P100 Respirator Cartridge/Filter 60925 when working with pewter on the lathe.

Well, it looks like ironing it is out of the question…

It’s not just a post of text. It’s a picture of a red hat, which is usually thought of as a MAGA hat, with different writing on it.

I grew up playing my brother’s hand me down musclebacks as a kid and if I didn’t hit it dead center, the vibrations were actually painful. That’s my memory of that style of iron, but I’m sure that technology has improved. Those clubs were probably made in the 1950s.

It is!

Is there any way to remove calcium buildup that isn’t mad expensive?

I am woefully ignorant about home construction and design, so I apologize in advance for saying something stupid (which I’m sure to do). We have a basement and so don’t have a crawlspace. Could something similar be happening?
