This lathe is the first one i started, in the cellar, on a 12ft x 4ft concrete pad i poured for it. Problem was the neighbor's rottwilers. They didn't want me in my cellar, they didn't want the cellar door open, and the local district attorney's office sided with the dogs, because i have trouble walking. It's my house, it's my land, there's no mortgage, no loans, no taxes due, nothing, it's all clearly titled in my name. The dogs control it. At least from ~2001 till perhaps 2009, we'll see.
