ITS HERE!!! Augie's Lathe Arrived!
I am absolutely speechless, honored, humbled, and eternally grateful. So I will just tell the facts. I have recieved the late Augie Hiscano's demonstration lathe that he brough all over the country to the shows. I recieved the a couple tools, 3 chucks, the lathe, pictures from Mrs. Hiscano of Augie and his projects, and a letter from her. In one of the chucks is a wheel Augie was working on right before he passed away that he planned to bring to Salt Lake City. I hope to make Augie proud, and I cannot thank the Hiscano's enough.
    Later I will find away to upload the pictures I recieved from Mrs. Hiscano to just share some of Augie's work with the world as he is sharing it with me.

Re: ITS HERE!!! Augie's Lathe Arrived!
What you have there is a real piece of modelling history. I'd love to know your association with the Hiscano's that made this possible! I'll bet the box also contained a seriously large amount of 'inspiration'...
Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing the 'fruits of his spirit...' Murray

Re: ITS HERE!!! Augie's Lathe Arrived!
That is so good that it has found a home with someone that attaches as much importance to its provenance as to the tool itself.
I only know it's previous owner from stories and so on, but I'm still glad. I think it's important. Now enjoy yourself with it and build some awsome models with it!!!

All I can say is congrats! I hope and know that you will share the knowledge just like Augie did. I know you'll do him proud and carry his spirit on.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing with us. Chris
