LATHE NEEDS A HOME

Lathe 1- Lempco - 27 1/4" spindle to bed (54 1/2"swing by 24" length with carraige retracted), plus, 16"swing by about 12"L over carraige. Carraige houses Heavy Duty X-Y table w/ power feed & sliding tailstock (aprox. 12" travel including tail spindle travel). Big faceplate J taper adapter for smaller chucks, also a Giant 14" Chuck! Independant jaws for eccentric turning.
Needs clean-up & a motor. I have a 3hp motor & speed control but dont want to sell unless it makes the lathe dissappear.
Please call Mike (808) 854-5817 for more info. & photos.

Lathe 2- BIW's Treadel Lathe: Can be set-up for 14" or 16" swing w/ 22" between 1"x8tpi spindle & tail center. I wanted to put on a heavier flywheel to keep inertia up, but no time. Only needs some pedal power to work. It's set-up for 14"now; it has belt for 16" swing. An adjustable link belt would work for both set-ups.
Again Please call (808) 854-5817 for more info.

Subject: Woodworkers contact?

Hi Codie! I have a friend who had to cut down a huge mango tree - the trunk section must be 3 ft. across - are there any woodworkers that might be interested in the wood? Feel free to pass along my email if they would like to contact me & see it - conveniently located in Keaau village, just down from the Hongwanji- it is ancient & would be a shame to just be chipped up. Thanx! Shelley
