Re: ITS HERE!!! Augie's Lathe Arrived!
O M G !, this is the Holy Grail to all modellers the whole world over, if that thing could talk imagine the stories it could share. To any body out there who doesn't know who Augie Hiscano was, there was not a lot of people ( if any ) who could equal nevermind better his creations, this man was an absolute genius when it came to producing parts on the lathe, the ammount of detail he could incorporate into even the smallest of parts was legendary, I suggest to people who are not familiar with this incredible mans work do a search on the web, you will be glad that you did believe me. Just my
 but , I'll bet that a lot of modellers out there will agree with me  .

Re: ITS HERE!!! Augie's Lathe Arrived!
Congrats Mike! You'll get good use of it. What are your first projects going to be?
People should know that this wasn't Augie's personal lathe, it's his "roadshow demo" lathe that everyone saw him using when he was giving demos. Augie's personal lathe and his special tools went to his best friend who will keep it and cherish it until he passes away. So both of Augie's lathes are in good hands, and I'm sure Augie would be proud that his legacy lives on.

Lucky sod!
 If being entrusted as the caretaker of that fine and historic piece of machinery doesn't inspire you, I don't know what will.
