Here's what I have. I used to have a Grizzly 7x14 but sold that when we moved. Of course I bought a bigger lathe for the new house and made sure the workshop is heated. I hated working in freezing weather in the old house. The picture is right after we got it, but then we were away quite a bit due to unforeseen political events. We're now back and don't plan any long trips so we're busy finishing the house and the lathe is finally getting used again. We also got a new mill to replace our old one also left behind. We need to finish installing this, but it's working fine as is.
