I don't think we'll ever complain about you starting more build threads

He picked it up at a garage sale just because and did I want it? Yes, yes I do. Picked it up today. It's an old Craftsman, 1/3 hp motor, three jaw and four jaw chuck, a billion other things in two drawers. I'm excited to get it home and see what I have and make stuff. More to follow.
That is a awesome lathe. I love those older tools. Have fun turning big pieces of metal into many smaller pieces.
Another piece of information for you.
This is a machinist's Youtube channel. I've enjoyed watching a lot of his videos. He machines a lot of different items which helps with setup ideas.
