Just this morning I bought an old Delta Lathe. I believe it's a vintage 4 speed Delta model 1460. It's an all cast iron beast with a 3/4 hp motor and variable speed using a pulley system. The motor was replaced with a Craftsman motor at some point and I can tell that the wiring was replaced though it still needs to have a new plug installed and a cover plate on the switch (I got a good buzz of of it turning it on for the first time!) The only thing that's missing is an MT#2 Live center for the tail stock which I see is at Lee Valley for about $35. I've never turned anything before so I can't wait to get some turning tools and try this baby out. I took a look at www.old-woodworking-tools.net to try and find a manual or date of manufacture from the serial number but I'm not sure how to find this. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm always looking for projects to work on with my 11 yr old son. Please count me in.

I'd love a copy of this book

"C" is for cookie, that's good enough for me!

I'd like a copy!

Sounds cool, I'd like to own this book

I've got this book on my Lee Valley Wish list. If I could win it here, I'd knock it off that veeery long list!

I love it, count me in too!

My favorite hand tool is my Veritas Bevel up jack plane. It is my first "premium" hand plane and it work like a dream both when smoothing wide boards, shooting or using as a large smoother or small jointer. It really is a "jack" of all trades in the plane world. My wife had actually bought me a Rigid oscillating spindle/belt sander for Christmas and after much deliberation on what I really wanted, I returned the sander to HD and bought the jack plane. No regrets!

My favorite power tool is my Rigid TS3650 table saw for its built-in lift system, great fence, power etc. A great product all around.

One of the beautiful things about woodworking is that you can never learn it all. I'm sure this book will serve as a reminder how little I actually know about the craft we all love. Count me in.

Hendrik is da man! I'd love to have a copy of his DVD.

A couple o weeks ago, my 11 year old asked me if I could make him a wooden machine gun. I'm not big on kids having replica guns but I loved playing cops and robbers as a kid so I caved and decided to make him one quickly using some scrap pine on the bandsaw. He was completely awestruck and really enjoyed helping me design it and cut it out. I let him use the rasp to shape the barrel and paint it. It was a really enjoyable experience that I'd love to relive with a project from this book. Count me in.

I've been following this blog with great interest. Thank you for blogging on your plane build process, it was very informative.

I've read great things about this DVD and I'd love to have a copy.

I've always wanted to try veneering. I'd love to have this book to give me some guidance.

I've thumbed through this book several times and it's full of great stuff and beautiful pictures. I'd love to have a copy for myself. Count me in!

I have a benchtop drill press, jointer and planer.
I'm fairly happy with the 12" drill press and honestly haven't needed anything bigger despite having made some large furniture projects. The model(Mastercraft)I have is pretty cheap and has a lot of runout though.
The 12-1/2" Dewalt DW734 lunchbox planer is awesome. I works great and fulfills all my needs.
I have a small Delta benchtop jointer. I think it's called the JT160. This was a purchase made because I went through the classic what to buy first, planer or jointer scenario. My wife solved that issue by buying me both at the same time but I've outgrown the jointer. Though it works very well for waht it is, the beds are really too short for making furniture parts. It would be perfect if someone was just into small box making but it's just not long enough to properly flatten long boards. I've needed to break out the handplanes on several occasions due to the limitations of the jointer. It'll do until I can buy a large 8" unit.

Lie Nielsen videos rock, I want this one!

Vey cool cover. I want it, please

I've been having a heck of a time trying to resaw with my saw. The blade wanders in the cut even after adjusting for drift. Perhaps this book will help. Count me in.

I restored an old dresser that was passed down to me from my mother. I don;t know how old it is but after removing several coats of gaudy paint, it ended up being beautiful maple underneath with nice dovetailed drawers. There was a great deal of learning involved in the project and I still get a sense of pride everytime I look at it.
