Only 8 hours left folks, get those bids in! LOL!

Way overpriced but maybe for some museum I can see them getting 6K. Maybe 6K tax deduction if they donate it.

On a side note...Its a very nice Oak bench IMO.

I wound up buying it, but for much less than the original asking price...

Nice. You did good. Post up some pics when you get it in your shop.

$6.000 starting bid ? Don't matter what kinda grass it is

Its a very nice lathe and the bench is just beautiful. I love that early 20th century oak furniture and benches. Also have a soft spot for those old oak card files we used to see in every damned government building and library. Sadly...just like old iron...most of them have been scrapped.

Nice! That bench is worth $2 grand by itself. The history behind the lathe is interested, too.

Thanks for the positive feedback so far. I will start setting up the lathe up tomorrow, will post some pictures soon.

Eddyde, Have the Feds came round yet, to see your are not using the lathe to make little plastic models of J.Edgar Hoover ?
