[Woodworkers] Still working on possible lathe acquisition

[Clint Warren via Woodworkers]

Yeah, I've thought about that.  He hasn't mentioned again about bringing it and I haven't mentioned it since my last request for pictures.  He seems to be something of an old tool hound so maybe he's having second thoughts about parting with it.  No pictures made me think it was either buried in a shed or in pieces.  We'll see what happens in a couple of hours.


 I win in any case because I'll have the saw gone.  I want a lathe, but honestly don't need a lathe as travel for work keeps me on the run and away from the shop.
 
 
 appreciate the input.

The saw buyer mentioned he may just load up the lathe and bring it when he comes for the saw.  I know that with my will power that it will probably stay here if he does.  Maybe I have 'sucker for old tools' written all over my face.
​I would take doodly squat from him, whether he delivers it or not, unless he provides pictures and model #'s and describes what comes with the lathe in the form of tooling (drive centers, tool rests, chisels, etc.)
As I see it at this point you are considering trading a known something for the proverbial pig in a poke.
Ultimately it is your call but I know 'xactly what I would do.​
