Drilling set up on the lathe

[Frank S]

Hey I'm sure you are aware that tool addiction communally known as TAS is incurable.
I should know I am a charter member of tool acquisition syndrome anonymous. Just tonight I may have inadvertently re acquired my old 25,000 lb Taylor forklift.
And a friend showed up with a very sad looking little cast iron 6x6 band saw that I decided I needed for what ever reason. I guess I wanted it #1 because it was so sad looking tossed in the back of a pickup with stuff that was destined for the scrap yard, or #2 because I really have no use for anther band saw, I already own 6 or 7, but as I said it was sad looking and missing a few parts such as both blade guides. Or #3 just because it was sad looking and I can't stand to see a tool looking sad, since I know which medicine to administer it to make it not feel so sad.
My wife tells everyone that I am a machine whisperer
