important announcement from andy willi - Page 3

Andy, I've not needed your services, but always considered that you would be the one to call if needed; good luck.

Have you ever considered trying to apprentice someone? (not me I hasten to add)

Wow a Myford metal workers lathe, I used to have a Myford mill drill, they are very reliable and well built. I would love to get a myford bowl turning rig, but since they weight so much, I can only dream!

A Myford! I cut a few back teeth on one of those.

Looks almost identical to the Myford in woodwork class at school .........
and that was 60+ years since, obviously real quality and engineering lasts forever!
