Oops.... Here you go... for now the thread is a place holder... waiting until later this year to get a quote and decide if I go with a metal building or something that looks like the house... Oh, and it is no longer 30x40... down to 30x30 to avoid taking down any of the trees...

Workshop Build 30x30x12 Ocala, FL

Almost there....

This Is a Chance In a Lifetime For Someone...!

I am going to give away this Lathe, free to good home...

The lathe comes with tons of stuff as seen in this thread including a bison chuck, stand and all.... whats left to do is solve all the oil leaks in the gearhead and fix the electrical distribution bar in the panel. technically you could just slap it back together and use it.

The many slow oil leaks all over the place drive me nuts, and I refuse to use it like that,

I am getting old this up-coming birthday, and Ill never get this lathe done cause its always on the back burner to my other projects, I'm just going to buy a new ready to use lathe sometime in the future.

This Lathe is located in las Vegas, weighs in at around 1000 lbs. and can be loaded in the back of a truck via my engine hoist in a couple pieces. The lathe bedways seem to be in really decent shape so the bones are good, Just needs a bunch of TLC.

Who Its for:

It's not for sale Its for free to someone that can fix, use and appreciate it..
It's for the guy who wants to fix and give it to a relative or friend that cant afford but so deserves a cool lathe..

Who its not for:

It's not for the guy that just wants to pick it up and sell it... my good fortune is not yours, Id rather cut it up in 10 Peces and throw it away.

So how do we figure out who gets it... I would love for someone on these forums to get and use it. so I ask for everyone's help figuring this out..

Thank you for the help with this in advance... No rush lets get it to the right person.

Mr Mike.

How generous! You should start a new thread with a poll or an essay contest or some other fun way to find the right person. If I was closer I'd be willing to help sort out the issues. Best of luck!

This is an amazing opportunity. I hope it goes to someone that could not afford to buy one but have the means to restore it.
God Bless you sir!

I announced it here on this thread cause this is the lathes restoration home, I hope who ever gets it continues to show its repair progress or at least its completion, would be thrilled to see it become useful to someone.

Your right about starting a new thread maybe... Ill ask Mikey for help... he is in a unique position I believe to help with this.

Outstanding.
How are you going to decide who earns it?
What a thoughtful offering. Pay it forward.
May the Karma find you in many positive ways!

That is EXACTLY what I am hoping for... couldn't ask for a better outcome.

I wouldn't say it's an amazing opportunity lol, they will still have to put some hours in if they want a well running machine, but for the right person that shouldn't be an issue, It ran nice & smooth when I got it.. just oil leaks out slowly from everywhere on gearhead.. and when it accumulates on the chuck it spits it at you...

Any ideas how to find the right person, let me know..

Thats what I need help figuring out, I fear there are not many people here in Vegas on the forums and it's too costly to ship-out to another state or drive here to get it, so I am kinda hoping that enough people here on the forums knows of someone here in town that would get a kick out of getting this...

My last option would be to post it on offer up or craigs list which I dread as an option in finding a good home. fortunately, I'm not in a rush..

That probably may have to be the way this goes down. Someone in need without the funds won't be able to ship or maybe even drive there unless, maybe they head that way for work or something. I wish I knew of someone that I could put their name in the hat but don't have any contacts in LV.
